Mackmyra 8 Year Old 2013 SMWS Single 1st Fill Bourbon Cask 151.2 Farmyard Haddock (2022) 70cl

1 of 288 Bottles from the Swedish Whisky producer, Mackmyra.

Recently, the distillery was saved from bankruptcy due to how good the whisky is. This is the second cask that SMWS purchased and bottled. If you love Caol Ila or Highland Park then this is up your street.

The initial nose suggested caraway seeds, cumin schnapps, muddled mint, vapour rubs and smoked meats. Also bashed crab claws and scallops charring on a BBQ. Reduction brought a more agricultural aspect, neeps and tatties picked from wet soil, caramelised carrots and then peppered mackerel. The neat palate was full of boiled shellfish, creosote, waxy textures, herbal smoke, petrol, menthol vapour rubs and wasabi. With water it became sweeter and the herbal aspects more elevated. Lots of syrupy medicines, charcoal, farmyard touches, spiced cured meats, smoked fish pie with capers and charred rosemary branches.
