The sweet taste of Swedish spring in a single malt whisky.

Björksav

Mackmyra Björksav (birch sap) is a Swedish single malt whisky
inspired by the long-awaited return of spring.

By including casks that were seasoned with Swedish birch sap wine, we have created a floral whisky with a fresh spiciness and sweet notes of vanilla fudge. Björksav is a collaboration with our friends at Grythyttan wine.

Nose: Floral and fruity with a light spiciness, vanilla fudge, sandalwood, cedar and toasted bread. Floral and slightly waxy notes of birch sap wine. Round and fruity notes of cherry, raisins, apple, pear and lemon.

Taste: A fresh and fruity spiciness with light minerals and herbs together with vanilla fudge, raisins, apple, ripe pears and lemon. Light spices of vanilla, toasted oak, floral honey, sandalwood, cedar, anise, white pepper and ginger. Round oak and vanilla spices together with a slightly oily texture.

Aftertaste: Light, spicy notes in harmony with toasted oak and dried fruits.

Highly drinkable, unique flavor profile

Having drank MacMyra for a number of years I always find their whiskeys subtle and interesting. Bjorksav I was expecting a summery light taste (I imagined MacMillan 12 with a few drops of water). It isnt. The first thing that hit me was that there is an initial smokey hit on the nose, not overpowering but definately there right at the start of a sip. This fades to the expected summery clean mid and after taste that trails beautifully.

Ordered a couple more bottles for Spring drinking - its perfect for a beautiful spring drink outside where its still a little chilly but you can feel summer coming... i.e. not heavy smoke like winter drinking, and not too floral like summer drinking!

Incredible Swedish single malt !

In a certain way, I bought this terrific Björksav on a whim... What a good surprise! it is certainly one of the best "still affordable" single malt i've ever tasted in more than 40 years. My first Mackmyra bottle, but not the last.
