Mackmyra Expedition 50cl Whisky

This latest release from Sweden's Mackmyra distillery is a bit unusual. It was aged in a mixture of American and Swedish oak. Not so strange there. But then some of it was finished in casks that previously held Swedish cloudberry wine. For those who don't know, a cloudberry is a fruit that grows in northern climes and is known in England as a knotberry or knoutberry. They grow wild in Sweden and are highly prized for making wine out of, and the used casks for aging whisky in. Makes a nice change from sherry.
