Mackmyra Svensk Rök Single Malt Whisky. Image courtesy Mackmyra Distillery.This is Mackmyra’s peated expression, matured in a combination of ex-Bourbon casks, American Oak, and Swedish Oak. The nose has a good mix of peat, smoke, and herbal juniper notes with a touch of cedar, honey, vanilla, and banana. The taste is thick and oily with a good mouthfeel and soft spices at first, then the smokiness kicks in and lasts through the long finish with hints of honey and vanilla in the background.
