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.....
