Mackmyra ‘Moment Jord’

This is again a very limited edition,which will be released in Sweden this August (1st) , only ~1470 were made, and 650 were already bought by Systembolaget (Sweden’s state retail store for alcohol). it contains a vatting of 4 refill hogsheads, distilled in 2003, vatted together with some whisky finished in French Bordeaux wine casks.

Nose: is this a perfume or a whisky? This one has quite a nose ! Some balsamic up front, then off to sweet and perfumed wine & grapes. interesting yet very different then the past two samples. Some damp wood too.

Palate : Sweet, sweet stuff, with a lot of wood, fortified wine (port ) , also chocolaty , with liquor filled pralines.

Finish : chocolate filled bon-bons,some sweet fortified wine as well, fruity. long….

If you like your whiskies “Natural” then this one is not for you. The wine finish is evident, and the finish does mask a lot of the “whisky” flavours. This one was a bit too much for me, although i am quite fond of some wine finishes whiskies. It’s not something you nose every day though and i can understand some of the twasters who liked this one quite a bit.
