Mackmyra Moment Efva

Following a tour at Mackmyra’s main storage in Bodås, Efva Attling has – together with Master Blender, Angela D’Orazio – handpicked some of Mackmyra’s finest casks. 

70CL • 46.3% ABV 

The 19 casks that caught Efva’s attention were mainly Oloroso, American oak and ex-Bourbon barrels, a majority of which had been saturated with Swedish birch tree wine. A request to create more prominent sweetness resulted in the use of a cask which had previously stored cherry wine. The result is a sophisticated and fruity whisky, with soft notes of oak and birch, combined with slight spicy tones of red berries. The edition is ornamented with a polished silver cork, designed by Efva.

Casks Used:

• Ex-Bourbon
• Oloroso
• American Oak
• Birch tree wine
• Cherry wine 

NOSE Fruity, vinous notes and a herbal spiciness together with vanilla, toasted oak, pear, fudge, warm grapes, white pepper, anise, ginger and cardamom.

TASTE Fruity, with round notes of oak. Slightly spicy, with tones of red berries, blossom, pear fudge and white pepper. Soft tobacco leaves and vanilla. A light oily texture and medium-bodied.

AFTER-TASTE Long and soft with a spicy finish of berries
