Mackmyra, a well known whisky distillery out of Sweden, recently announced it is adding a new addition to its Moment series. Moment Brukswhisky DLX (46.6% ABV) is a single malt whisky that has aged solely at Bodås mine since distillation and stands as a deluxe version of Mackmyra’s classic Brukswhisky.
The breakdown of it goes something like this:
- Ex-Bourbon (200L), elegant. Aged 14 years
- freshly saturated oloroso casks (128 l) filled with 4-year-old ex-bourbon whisky. Total age 9-11 years old
- Swedish oak (100 L), filled with 4-year-old ex-Bourbon whiskey. Total age: 9 – 11 years old
- Ex-Bourbon (100 L), filled with Smoke tail from 2010. Stored 11 year
“Brukswhisky has always had a place close to my heart. To be able to present this edition that is so typical Mackmyra, is a celebration to the original but also stating that we are an established distillery. This is big,” Master Blender at Mackmyra Angela D’Orazio said in a prepared statement. “With increased age and a longer period in casks the complexity is also elevated, but with a reinvigorated freshness and fruitiness.”
