About this seasonal single malt
Mackmyra Stjärnrök (Star Smoke) is a Swedish single malt whisky created with cold, dark months in mind. For this edition, Mackmyra began with their handmade smoky Rök recipe. They then matured this in oloroso, ex-bourbon and American oak casks for body, complexity and sweetness. To balance the smoke and the deep, dark notes from the oloroso casks, they added older ex-bourbon casks. These contained their unsmoked elegant recipe, contributing vibrant aromas of citrus and vanilla. The whisky is then brought together by the addition of spicy Swedish oak casks saturated with cloudberry wine. This brings a deliciously warming finish. Stjärnrök is perfect to pair with a winter charcuterie of ripe figs, walnuts and strong, hard cheeses.
