Mackmyra Moment XVI 0,7 l

Swedish Single Malt Whisky, 48%vol

Limited Edition

To celebrate the 70. birthday of king Carl XVI. Gustaf the new bottling of the Mackmyra Moments series is presented. On march the 18th in 2009 king Carl XVI. Gustaf visited the distillery. The batches distilled the same day are matured in 30 l and 225 l casks of Swedish oak. These casks are bottled now as the 20th release in the exclusive moments series.

During her regular tastings in the Bodås mine and on the island Fjäderholmarna, Mackmyra’s Master Blender Angela D’Orazio, sometimes come across casks that distinguish themselves from the rest. For a long time, Angela have dreamt of making something really special with these casks. That’s why the Mackmyra Moment series was created: the most unique casks in very limited editions.

‘We have a number of casks in Bodås and at Fjäderholmarna that are so exquisite that it would be a shame to use them in our large bottlings, where their unique character will blend into the masses. That’s why we, for some time now, have talked about finding some other way to release this exclusive whisky to the public.’
Angela says.

No chill filtration, no colouring
 

Mackmyra Moment is a series of whiskies from Mackmyra’s most exclusive casks, handpicked by Master Blender Angela D’Orazio. Each edition comes in a distinguished black carton with a specific colour scheme and a modern bottle design with an engraved metal plaque.

Since the number of casks per bottling are so few, the editions in the Moment series are very limited. The first editions to be released were Moment Medvind and Moment Urberg who where launched on 15 December 2010 in the exclusive range at the Swedish monopoly store Systembolaget. Since then, several unique Moment editions have been released.
