Mackmyra Whisky

Mackmyra was born on a ski trip, when four young engineering students hatched the improbable idea of building a distillery in the Swedish forest. Today a seven-storey distillery stands north of Gävle, and the whisky matures partly 50 metres underground in an old mine shaft.

  • Bottle of Mackmyra Reserve Bertelsen Cask No.1 Swedish Single Malt Whisky
    Item no.: 2222555-7413

    In 2004, Mackmyra sold a small cask of raw, unpeated spirit to one of the men behind Whisky.dk. The cask took his name, and almost five years later it became 54 bottles of Swedish whisky that have never been recreated since.

    The Expert's Description

    Mackmyra Reserve Bertelsen Cask No.1 is a Swedish Single Malt Whisky matured in a 30-litre Swedish oak cask and bottled at 48.3%.

    The story begins in 2004, when Mackmyra sold a small 30-litre cask of Swedish oak filled with unpeated new-make spirit to one of Whisky.dk's owners. The cask took the name Bertelsen Cask No.1 after the buyer, while another Whisky.dk co-owner received his own cask at the same time, since known as Olsen's Barrel.

    After nearly five years of maturation in the small cask, the whisky arrived in Denmark as 54 bottles with a deep colour and a surprisingly full flavour for such a young cask. It was distilled on 8 November 2004 and bottled on 6 April 2009.

    Tasting Notes

    Nose

    Clear oak character with vanilla and a touch of honey, supported by a light nutty sweetness.

    Palate

    Full-bodied and warm with notes of caramel and toasted oak, where the small cask's intense maturation is clearly felt.

    Finish

    Medium length with a dry, woody close and a last trace of sweetness.

    Flavour Profile

    Oaky · Full-bodied · Sweet · Nutty · Warm

    Investment Potential

    High. With only 54 bottles from a single small cask, and a story tied directly to Whisky.dk's own past, this is one of the rarest Swedish whiskies ever to have reached shelves in Denmark.

    Did You Know?

    Bertelsen Cask No.1 is named after one of Whisky.dk's owners, who personally bought the cask directly from Mackmyra in 2004. It is one of very few bottles in the world to carry the name of a Danish whisky retailer.

  • Bottle of Mackmyra Skördetid Swedish Single Malt Whisky
    Item no.: 22227865446-897

    Skördetid, harvest time in Swedish, draws its sweetness from an unusual source: Italian Amarone casks that have given this Mackmyra release a fullness of red grapes and raisins rarely found in Nordic whisky.

    The Expert's Description

    Mackmyra Skördetid is a Swedish Single Malt Whisky partly matured in Italian Masi Costasera Amarone casks and bottled at 46.1%.

    The whisky is assembled from several cask types: primarily first-fill Masi Costasera Amarone casks, first-fill bourbon casks and first-fill Oloroso sherry casks, supplemented by smaller amounts of American oak previously filled with Pedro Ximénez sherry, as well as Mackmyra's own 30-litre Reserve casks. The result is a whisky with rich colour and clear fruitiness from the red wine casks.

    Tasting Notes

    Nose

    Sweet, rich tones of red grapes and raisins, crossed with soft herbal spice.

    Palate

    Full-bodied and fruity with clear Amarone character, where sweetness and spice go hand in hand with Mackmyra's clean, malty base.

    Item no.: 22227865446-896

    Ten years is a milestone for a distillery that was still young when this bottle was filled. Mackmyra 10 Years Old was the first of its kind from the Swedish distillery, and it set the standard for what Swedish whisky could be.

    The Expert's Description

    The whisky was crafted by master blender Angela D'Orazio and marked a milestone as Mackmyra's first 10-year-old release.

    A total of 20,000 bottles were produced of this first 10-year-old release from the Swedish distillery.

    Tasting Notes

About Mackmyra Whisky

Mackmyra is Sweden's first whisky distillery, founded in 1999, and today one of the country's largest with a capacity of around one million bottles a year, split between a top-tier series called Moment and a more commercial blended range. The distillery's signature is its use of Swedish oak for part of the cask, often combined with sherry in so-called gravity casks, giving a bolder, spicier wood character than typical Scotch. Collectors are drawn to the limited Moment releases and private cask-owner bottlings, while newcomers can start with the house's more accessible core range.

History & Background

The idea began on a ski trip to Sälen, where four engineering students decided to try Swedish whisky production, and the distillery was founded in 1999 in the small town of Mackmyra near Gävle. To raise capital while the whisky matured, they sold small 30-litre casks to private cask owners, a model that has since attracted over 15,000 Swedish whisky enthusiasts. In 2008 production moved to a new, modern seven-storey distillery, and Mackmyra is still owned today by the four founders and the Klingberg family, with the rest listed on the Nasdaq exchange in Stockholm.

History & Background

The idea for Mackmyra arose when eight friends on a mountain skiing trip discussed the possibility of making Swedish whisky. The distillery was founded in 1999, and Mackmyra has since become one of the most recognized European whisky brands outside Scotland.

Production & Style

Mackmyra uses Swedish barley and water from a local spring, and experiments with various cask types, including Swedish oak, giving the whisky a distinct Nordic character.

Signature Style

Fresh, Spicy, Nordic
The flavor offers a light, spicy character with notes of juniper and Swedish forest, shaped by the local climate and Swedish casks.
