Explorers in Whisky
Mackmyra has come a long way since 1999 when it was founded as the only whisky distillery in Sweden. Since then it has earned a reputation as a top-quality single malt producer in spite of its untraditional Scandinavian location. In 2012 Mackmyra opened the world’s first and only gravity-run facility that stands at 37 metres high!
Svensk Ek
The flagship Swedish whisky created using 100% Swedish ingredients. Casks coopered from Swedish oak create a more firm and spicy flavour. Svensk Ek is matured in Swedish oak casks giving the whisky a spicy character giving notes of sandalwood, dried ginger, black pepper, roasted oak barrel and herbs to our whisky.
We are constantly developing our ancient craft to make it even better. One example of our many innovations is to age a great deal of our whisky in smaller barrels thereby extracting more flavour.
Björksav
Mackmyra Björksav (birch sap) is a Swedish single malt whisky
inspired by the long-awaited return of spring.
By including casks that were seasoned with Swedish birch sap wine, we have created a floral whisky with a fresh spiciness and sweet notes of vanilla fudge. Björksav is a collaboration with our friends at Grythyttan wine.
Intelligens AI:02
The idea for AI-created whisky began with a meeting between Mackmyra and Microsoft, in which the future of whisky was being discussed. After working closely together for some time, the AI finally began generating its first recipes.
Their Master Blender used her knowledge to determine which recipe ingredients would work well together while correcting other less desirable combinations. As this process was repeated, the AI algorithm began to learn which combinations were the most favourable and produce better recipe combinations. These recipes became the Intelligens series.
