Distillery: Mackmyra Whisky

Mackmyra First Edition Swedish Single Malt Whisky is distilled from a mash of 100% malted barley harvested from the fields just outside Mackmyra Distillery in Galve, Sweden. After the barley is harvested, Angela D’Orazio, Mackmyra’s master distiller, mills and mashes it inside a custom-made, 114-foot tall Gravitation Still. The height of the still allows Mackmyra to harness the laws of gravity for nearly the entire distillation process, which results in fewer pumps and moving parts. As a result, D’Orazio says, milling and mashing becomes “becomes much more climate smart than in a traditional distillery.” After milling and mashing the barley, D’Orazio ferments the mash for approximately three days before distilling it twice inside Mackmyra’s custom-made, copper-pot stills. Following distillation, the whisky is aged in handmade, first-fill American bourbon and Swedish oak casks. The Swedish oak sourced from the island of Visings from oak that was planted 160 years ago and intended for use in building warships for the Swedish navy is tougher than ordinary oak and has a unique, fiery spiciness. After the casks are filled, they are stored in an abandoned mine fifty meters below ground in Bods. The constant low temperature in the abandoned mine results in a more mellow, smooth whisky. After being aged for approximately five years, the whisky is then brought back to the distillery where each bottle is filled and labeled by hand. Mackmyra First Edition Swedish Single Malt Whisky is Sweden’s first single malt whisky, and it earned the Gold Medal at the 2011 International Wine & Spirits Competition and a score of 90 points from Whisky Advocate.

Distillery Information

Mackmyra Whisky is a Swedish single malt whisky distillery. It is named after the village and manor of Mackmyra, where the first distillery was established, in the residential district of Valbo, south-west of Gvle. The toponym is commonly suggested as deriving from owlet moths (Swedish: nattflyn) and mire (Swedish: myr). However, owlet moths have all but disappeared from present-day Mackmyra, due to the gradual rebound of landa result of the melting of ice sheets 10,000 years ago. Mackmyra Svensk Whisky AB is a publicly traded company, listed in December 2011 on Nasdaq OMX’s alternative-investment market First North. The company has about 45 employees with annual revenues of around SEK 100 million, and its biggest shareholder is the Swedish farmer’s co-op Lantmnnen.
