About Mackmyra Gruvguld

Mackmyra 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 Mackmyra's powerful 30 litre casks that have been with their distillery since the start; more than half of the end result was achieved in these casks of different oak types and finishes. The new make spirit was mainly Mackmyra's unpeated recipe, with the exception of a few smoky casks for a small spicy addition. In the wide variety of casks used, there were also some that previously stored Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez sherry.
