(In dutch, but with beautiful photos)]]> Mackmyra Special:03 - Small casks, big flavour is the third bottling in our Special series. It will be released in Sweden November 2nd and in the rest of Europe later in November.

Sometimes experiments in one area can lead to discoveries in another one. We developed our recipe on a small scale, so we had small oak casks specially made. A size that turned out to give the whisky a more intense ageing and flavour.

From our warehouses we have taken the best thirty-litre casks of our two recipes and three different kinds of cask. Casks of ex-bourbon, ex-sherry and new Swedish oak have come together in this tribute to the small cask with the big flavour.

Special:03 – Small Casks, Big Flavour is a spicy, full-bodied, fruity whisky with hints of both dried and fresh fruit, soft caramel and a slightly smoky tarry wood. A Swedish malt whisky that challenges traditions.]]>
