A new generation of Swedish malt whisky
The 1st Edition is the new generation of Swedish malt whisky, produced using Swedish ingredients at the Mackmyra Bruk mill,
which has a tradition of craftsmanship dating back to the 17th century.
Small casks, Swedish oak and storage in Bodås mine
Much of the whisky in The 1st Edition has been stored in 100-litre casks, which produces an exciting, powerful ageing
process. We have also used newly manufactured Swedish oak casks, made using oak that was planted on the island of Visingsö
160 years ago and intended for use in building warships for the Swedish navy. The base is our Elegant recipe, stored in
bourbon casks of first fill quality. All stored in the Bodås mine, 50 metres down inside the primary rock.
Citrus, caramel and honey
The colour is light yellow, with hints of amber. The nose is fruity with citrus, pear, apple, honey, light oak
with hints of lightly toasted bread and fresh, buttery caramel. The flavour is fruity and subtle, with citrus,
caramel and honey. A light hint of oak can be noted at the end. The aftertaste is well-adjusted and balanced,
with hints of dark chocolate.
For optimal flavour, the alcohol strength has been adjusted to 46.1% using naturally purified water from the
Valbo Ridge.
The 1st Edition is released in Sweden June 2nd, and in the rest of Europe later this year.
