New Recipe and Size (now 70cl) Svensk Rök (Swedish Smoke) is the only smoky single malt whisky made from Swedish ingredients only. In Sweden, juniper has been used to season our food for generations. Now you can enjoy the timeless flavour in a golden form. The aroma is slightly smoky and spicy, with a much smokier flavour and peaty juniper notes. 70CL • 46.1% ABV SWEDISH BARLEY, PEAT AND JUNIPER TWIGS Mackmyra is one of the few distilleries in the world which malts its own smoky barley. Both malting and smoking take place in a facility situated next to the distillery using Swedish-grown barley and peat cut from the nearby Karinmossen (Karin bog). And to add a further Swedish dimension to the smoky flavour, the glowing peat is seasoned with freshly cut juniper twigs. The smoking process takes place over 36 hours. The smouldering peat and juniper slowly release their flavours and infuse the bed of malt. Every four hours, the stove is refilled with fresh peat and juniper twigs. The process of malting and smoking barley takes around 12 days and requires constant maintenance and supervision. When smoking is completed, the concentration of phenols in the malt reaches around 60 PPM. New-make spirit from Mackmyra’s smoky recipe uses 23% smoked malt, with the remainder unsmoked.
