Swedish single malt whisky from the Mackmyra distillery, independently bottled by That Boutique-y Whisky Company! Hugely complex but approachable, with waves of fresh fruit notes to enjoy. Makes us wish we knew how to enter Mackmyra's cask warehouse, but apparently you need comprehensive knowledge of the Elvish language to get through the hidden doorway. The ents guarding the door have been spreading rumours about this expression featuring whisky drawn from casks that previously held cloudberry wine...
Batch 1 is a release of 220 bottles.
‘That Boutique-y Whisky Company’ bottles single malts, single grains and bourbons from a variety of renowned distilleries as well as producing award-winning blended malts and blends. These whiskies are adorned with cultish graphic novel-style labels.
An interesting opening reveals sour apple sweets, lightly charred oak and warm butterscotch. Marzipan icing, vanilla custard, sweet pastry, cream cheese danish and barley twists all emerge and linger. A faint hint of fizzy cherry is there too, perhaps.
Warm, sweet, spicy and drying all at once, homemade apple juice bursts to the fore, while melting salted caramel and fresh-from-the-oven-cherry Bakewell tart relax amongst aromatic cinnamon and hot cumin.
Long and interesting, fizzy apple cables line the edge, while rich oak and a teasing whiff of smoke fade.
Wonderful, a brilliantly mad concoction with subtle complexities. It’s at once a confectionery store, a bakery and an autumnal Swedish forest.

Vraiment Déçu . Trop de chlorophylle à mon goût. Une impression d'avoir un chewing gum en bouche . Peut être un peu trop jeune. Very disappointed ! Too much chlorophyll .I've the feeling to have a gum in my mouth. May be a bit too young.
Amazing whisky!
