"sweden malt" news and stories

The only Swedish whisky distiller, Mackmyra, has released a single malt. Coming from the countries only distiller means it is also the only Swedish malt whisky.

Preludium:01 is a blend of the premier casks of whisky made in the small-scale distillery in 1999, when it was founded, and the first ones from the new distillery, opened in 2002. Although, like scotch whisky the producers use ex-bourbon casks and ex-sherry butts, they have an added local feel by utilising new casks made of Swedish Oak.

They took the first first-fill sherry cask, the first first-fill bourbon cask, the first Swedish oak cask, and mixed it together and to get the volume. Adding the new distillery caks as well made a mix of everything they have produced.

Preludium:01is the first in a series of six that will be released during 2006 and 2007.
