Wow.

Nose: OMG. we’re in a different world. Peat and smoke enter the game and the nose is a party! Peat, sherry, and smoke: the holy trinity. spent matches, fire crackers. dark fruits with smoke. wood logs, dusty shed. smoked bacon. damn! Palate: Heavy stuff : Smoke, sherry, smoked ham, BBQ marinated beef, black tea. OMG. Finish: sweet,smoke, looooooooooong. Wow.

Wow! one big Wow! what is this? It’s brilliant. It’s young, yet it feels right. the nose is complex, and the palate is wonderful, and the finish doesn’t end. I love this one, I need a bottle! I was very disappointed to hear that I can not buy a bottle of this one, and need to order the entire cask. Usually it would be an option, with my whisky club or friends, but importing a barrel or a lot of bottles to Israel with our insane (200%!!!) tax rate on whisky will render this impossible. Fine stuff i tell you, I was not expecting something like it. An Ace whisky. high 80’s really high on the scale.

Hej - I am up in Gavle (Mackmyra) in a month or so - is this the one I should ask them for ? Brukswhisky (the one I have reviewed) is lovely, but a tad "tame" and well-behaved, at least for me.....

This one is only available if you purchase a cask. Sadly. Ask for it if u can.

Wow that sounds really nice! I am getting my first bottle of Mackmyra soon (First Edition) and somehow I am always happy to read something good about this special distillery. Where were you tasting this dram? Why aren't they selling bottles??? They plan to sell them in future? Otherwise someone has to order a cask and share it with us :)

For sure - split a cask if we can get enough - its the way to go (having just got back from an epic weekend in Islay). Count me in.
