Sweden’s Mackmyra Turns To Tea For It’s Latest Finished Whisky
0 1 minute read
For it’s 2020 seasonal special release, Sweden’s Mackmyra Distillery has turned to a truly unorthodox source of cask stock, even in this age of innovation in whisky-making. Mackmyra Grönt te (Green Tea) is a single malt whisky finished in casks steeped with a blend of elegant Japanese green tea leaves.
“It’s been a real pleasure to be able to put the limits of whisky to the test and create this spring’s seasonal whisky. I’m very moved that I was given the opportunity to think free from old whisky traditions and combine my favorite flavor, green tea from Japan, with my great passion, whisky, even though something similar has never been done before. I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve achieved together, and I look forward with confidence to creating new exciting taste sensations,” says Angela D’Orazio, Master Blender at Mackmyra.
