Mackmyra Svensk Ek Swedish Single Malt Whisky 46.1% 700ML

Description: 

The flagship Swedish whisky created using 100% Swedish ingredients. Casks coopered from Swedish oak create a more firm and spicy flavour. Svensk Ek is matured in Swedish oak casks giving the whisky a spicy character giving notes of sandalwood, dried ginger, black pepper, roasted oak barrel and herbs to our whisky. 

We are constantly developing our ancient craft to make it even better. One example of our many innovations is to age a great deal of our whisky in smaller barrels thereby extracting more flavour.

Tasting notes:

Nose: Fruity with citrus, pear, apple and honey. A light oakiness with sweet, lightly toasted bread notes and fresh butter toffee.

Taste: Svensk Ek has a spicy character giving notes of sandalwood, dried ginger, black pepper, roasted oak barrel and herbs to our whisky. Fruity and smooth with citrus, caramel and honey. A light oakiness can be discerned at the end.

Aftertaste: The aftertaste is tuned and balanced with hints of dark chocolate.

Kjeld J's 5-star Review

I was pleasantly surprised by the fullness of the taste, which lasts for a long time. Slightly sweet flavors with chocolate, fruit and a little bit of pepper in the background. Svensk Ek easily holds its own among the Scottish single-malt variants and has been given a prominent place after tasting, at the front of the Whisky cabinet.
