The Mackmyra Gruvguld Sasongswhisky, bottled in 2018, is a testament to the innovative spirit of the Mackmyra Distillery in Sweden. With an ABV of 46.1%, this 700ml whisky offers complex flavors born from a meticulous aging process. Gruvguld, meaning "Gold from the Mine," has been aged in a unique blend of small barrels, including 30, 100, and 128-liter casks, matured 50 meters underground in the Bodås mine. The whisky features a mix of virgin, first-fill, and second-fill barrels, including bourbon, Swedish oak, and American oak, some of which were previously used to age Oloroso and Pedro Ximenez sherries. This single malt comprises both unpeated and lightly smoked recipes, resulting in a nuanced and richly layered profile. The high transparency in Mackmyra's maturation process and the use of small barrels lend this whisky its distinctive oaky and spicy character. Gruvguld greets you with a nose rich in marzipan, black cherry, ginger, and tobacco leaves, transitioning to a palate that balances fruity and spicy notes with an oily texture. The finish is long-lasting with hints of black cherry, apple, grapefruit, and a touch of earthy tar and tobacco leaves. This Swedish delight stands as a complex and memorable whisky, embodying Mackmyra's dedication to craftsmanship and innovation.
