Mackmyra Gruvguld Single Malt Swedish Whisky

700 ml, 46.1% abv, Sweden

Released as part of Mackmyra’s Season series, Gruvguld (Gold from the mine) has been aged in small casks of 30, 100 and 128 litres, in the mine of Bodås, 50 metres below ground. This whisky is a tribute to the powerful 30-litres casks that Mackmyra has used from the start, and more than half of the finished result was aged in these casks of different oak types and finishes. The new make that was aged, is mainly of the unpeated recipe, with an exception of a few smoky casks for a small spiciness addition. In the wide variety of casks used, there are also some that previously stored oloroso and Pedro Ximénez sherry.
