Mackmyra Brukswhisky

My first sweddish whisky. Actually a very light, pleasant and very easy drinkable. Bottled at 41.2%abv, very light pale straw color. On the nose, Grape, Plum, White wine, orange candy and carnival foam (really). On the palate, it seems like a typical speyside scotch, just a very light pear juice. Finish is spicy/salty with ashy notes, aftertaste is the best part. Overall this is a begginers, entry level whisky, i dont think it is expensive and it can be used as an everyday drink. My score for it is 78 over 100.

Nose: Pears, pears, and green apples. Very fragrant, light and fresh. Deeper sniffs reveal cereal notes (cornflakes?). Some light toffee as well. Touch pf green banans. Like this a lot. Like Old Pulteney 12 with the apple/pear notes on steroids. Palate: Slightly thinner than I hoped for. You need to take larger sips to get the full body if the whisky. More pears and light vanilla. Some very well rounded spicyness (black pepper). No bitterness/woodyness. Very fresh, almost a white wine quality to it. Touch of minty peat (barely noticeable). Finish: Pleasant but on the shorter side. No new notes emerges. Overall: I like this style of fresh whisky. It reminds me of OP12, but with even more pears/apples but with less funky notes (as can be sensed in most OP). I score it 3.5 on the back of the delicate fruity notes which are just lovely (it’s not far away from 3.75). A bit more taste and a stronger finnish and this would have been a really great one.

Sweet, herbal and vanilla notes. A bit spicy. Collor: light yellow. Good whisky, but I think a little bit expansive.
