Happy new year everybody! I thought I'd start 2016 with a very special bottling from one of my favourite distilleries. Specially selected for the Swedish market by two whisky enthusiasts, this single cask (a rarity) from Old Pulteney is really awesome!
The cool thing about Box Distillery? They are extremely transparent and share recipes and details for all their bottlings. The not so cool thing? They are way overpriced.
Finished in calvados casks from Christian Drouin, the Mackmyra Äppelblom is certainly not pushing the boundaries as much as the Vinterglöd, but is very interesting nonetheless.
Mackmyra made headlines all over the world with the release of Mackmyra Intelligens, the first whisky in the world where AI had been involved in the creation of a single malt whisky.
I'll be diving into Berry Bros & Rudd's Nordic Casks series over the coming weeks, starting today with an impressive sherry matured single malt from High Coast Distillery in Sweden.
