HISTORY

The idea to produce a Swedish whisky was conceived by eight friends in a mountain cabin back in 1998. To ensure they stayed in touch after studying engineering together, the group had a tradition of meeting up in Sälen once a year. This time, purely by chance, everyone had brought along a bottle of whisky. During dinner, one of them wondered why there was no Swedish malt whisky, and, if it was possible, why hadn’t anyone already done it? The question remained unanswered but, before long,the vision to become pioneers and produce the first Swedish malt whisky took shape. One year later, in 1999, Mackmyra Svensk Whisky was established.

GRAVITY DISTILLERY

At Mackmyra we strive to make our whisky in as modern, efficient, visitor-friendly and environmentally-friendly a way as possible. To achieve this aim, we decided to build the world’s most climate-smart distillery. In 2011, our Gravity Distillery was finally ready. Standing 35 metres tall, as the name suggests this building makes use of gravity throughout the whisky-making process. It was designed by the architects TEA whose mission it was to imbue the building with a character that captures the essence of Mackmyra: playfulness, sensuality and qualitative production.

THE MACKMYRA CLASSIC COLLECTION

The Mackmyra Classic Collection consists of four Swedish classics, which together provide a good impression of the Mackmyra style. The range showcases the Swedish oak, the Swedish smoky flavour and the history of Mackmyra, with the Brukswhisky edition. Mack by Mackmyra is aimed at a wider audience and is the perfect choice for mixing whisky cocktails. With this set, featuring 4 5cl miniatures from each edition, you get the opportunity to conduct your very own Mackmyra tasting session.
