Sweden’s Mackmyra Distillery has released Moment Virvelvind, their last edition in the Moment series.
And to close out the series, the distiller took inspiration from the first edition of the series, Moment Medvind.
The latest Moment Virvelvind is a single malt whisky matured in Sweden’s Bodås Mine since distillation at Mackmyra’s headquarters. The release became available in limited quantities starting May 25th.
Since the first issue, Moment Medvind, much has changed for this vaunted whisky series. Casks have been stored considerably longer than the original, as they were all filled in 2007 and 2010.
