Clear dark amber color. Aromas and flavors of malted barley and cereal grains, suede, oatmeal cream cookie, and orange peel with a lightly tannic, dryish medium body and a tingling, appealing, medium-length finish evoking notes of orange cream, vanilla dr. pepper, baking spices, and honeyed oats. Warm, sweet grains and baking spices just give you a vibe for travel and adventure.

Whisky has only been produced in Sweden since 1999 when Macmyra first began distilling. Since then a handful of single malt producers have popped up in the country that previously had no tradition of making whisky. Inspired by Scotland's single malts but decidedly Swedish in grain selection and use of oak, these whiskys are an interesting drink to seek out.
