Oh, and they never expire...
The result of close collaboration between Mackmyra and the Italian wine producer Masi, this seasonal release marks the first time the Swedish producers have used Masi Costasera Amarone casks to finish one of its single malt whiskies. It spent six months in the barrels, following initial maturation in Mackmyra casks in the the Bodås mine.
Skördetid, the Swedish for 'harvest time', doesn't only take on the rich, distinctive flavour of the wine-cask finish, but also the the dark wine-red colour of the Masi Costasera Amarone, which is mirrored in the packaging and bottle stopper.
This colour is natural, and with its deep, autumnal notes and dark, brooding colour, it makes an ideal evening dram, perfect for the festive season.
Nose: Nutty, dried fruit aromas, with dark oak and creamy vanilla fudge. Just a hint of anise keeps things interesting.
Palate: Syrupy pears, ginger raisins, red grapes and floral barley join a lingering vanilla sheen. Touches of Christmas cake, bitter dark chocolate and marzipan spring to life in the backdrop.
Finish: Warm gingerbread gives a spicy edge to a wine-like sweetness, with sharp oak tannins percolating throughout.

Not bad but definitely not worth the price tag.It’s a whisky that I wouldn’t turn down but wouldn’t choose to buy.
