Whiskey Review: Mackmyra First Edition Single Malt

Pretty well in line with the nose, with lots of honey and vanilla. There’s a warm spice character, though, and the fruit is more citrusy than the apple-pear of the nose. It’s rather oily on the palate, and there’s a faint chemical harshness on the back of the tongue. Dry oak on the finish, with lingering vanilla. Final Thoughts and Score: All in all, this is a decent whisky, though it does come across as a little raw thanks to the heat on the palate. It’s a very bourbon-like expression, heavy on sweet and spicy notes. I’m not blown away, but it’s piqued my interest in this distillery—I’m very curious about some of their more recent expressions. If nothing else, it’s one more country to stamp in your whiskey passport.
