Mackmyra Iskristall

Swedish Whisky from the Mackmyra Whisky Village, just outside Gavle

Mackmyra distillery is located north of Stockholm on the east coast of Sweden. It was founded in 1999 by a group of friends bemused at the fact that there was no Swedish whisky. In 2011 a second, gravity powered distillery was built and a year later an IWSC EU spirit producer of the year was in their award cabinet. Their main warehouse for maturing their whisky is 50 metres under ground in the old Bodas mine.

Mackmyra Iskristall (Ice Crystal) Single Malt is the third release in a seasonal series of whiskies that all have special finishes. Iskristall was matured in a mix of Swedish oak, American oak as well as ex-Bourbon casks that have been saturated with Pedro Ximenez sherry wine. It is bottled at 46.1% ABV.
