Sweden’s Mackmyra Poised To Release Lingon- And Blueberry Finished Whisky

Mackmyra has a proud history of challenging traditional norms and also of having a desire to highlight Swedish nature, flavors and craftsmanship outside the country’s borders. In line with this, the company now presents this year’s autumn edition Jaktlycka (Happy Hunting), which is a whisky inspired by our ancient forests and its tasty treasures. Jaktlycka is a limited single malt that will be launched on 2 September 2020.

Mackmyra has used the lingonberry and blueberry wine Jakt, from the small-scale Grythyttan winery, in this autumn’s edition. This has resulted in a new classic crafted Swedish whisky flavor that is ready to join the world of whisky.

Grythyttan wine is created by the passionate winemakers Per and Ingunn. They use their exceptional crafting skills to create natural berry wines that show consideration for nature and respect for the ingredients. They only use nature’s own pantry with no additives, as they are utterly convinced that the berries speak for themselves.

“Jaktlycka is a warm and soft whisky filled with treasures from the forests. The notes of berries, together with the wonderful spicy contribution from Swedish oak, generate a fantastic flavour that embodies the Swedish forest and autumn. The result is a creamy and berrylike whisky with a softly embedded spiciness and notes of dried fruit, vanilla and raisins. It will make a classic companion to milk chocolate desserts,” says Angela D’Orazio, Master Blender Mackmyra.
