Svensk Ek, or 'Swedish Oak', is matured in barrels made from oak trees planted on the island of Visingsö centuries ago, oak originally intended for shipbuilding.
Sweet and spicy, toasted oak, lemon cake and apple pie.
Darker, earthier spices, cashew nut, toffee. Raspberry and black pepper. Milk chocolate.
Vanilla with hints of mint and chilli.
Very very nice. Sweet, interesting, herbal, a bit of chocolate. This is lovely!
Worth a try, for sub £50 it’s hard to match
Different taste with touch of sweetness. Like it as something different.
bananas and pine needles, basic mackmyra with little bit added spiciness from 10% swedish oak, lovely nose, young but it dont really matter cause they are so good with casks, very different but hey so it should be. lemon, unripe banana, peppery, some eucalyptus oil towards the end, more pepper, look for all the different good, then try mix ;) or horizontal tasting anyway, more than ok+
This is really not my cup of whisky. It's very sweet, and got too much of apple taste to it. It's a very dominant trait, unfortunately.
