About this seasonal limited edition

Mackmyra's Limousin is inspired by the prestigious French oak region. This Swedish single malt whisky combines Mackmyra's classic character with a ripe rich vinosity. The flavours are highlighted by the use of French Limousin Oak casks that held Cognac from renowned Cognac House Ferrand.

To emphasise the fruitiness, Mackmyra also used older Oloroso casks, as well as casks saturated with berry wine (Swedish cherry wine and forest raspberry wine). These casks add complexity, and a touch of freshness.

Limousin pairs well with cold-cut charcuterie or a dark chocolate fondant with caramelised orange
