Nose: Pears and vanilla, very Mackmyra-esque. There is peat/smoke too, but a very herbal and forest-like, fresh yet earthy peat (for anyone into male fragrances; think Tom Ford Grey Vetiver). Just a hint of (pickled?) cucumber as well (!). The nose is more interesting than tasty. Palate: Very delicate, yet full of flavour. More pear and vanilla but rounded by the light herbal peat, still maintaining its fruity freshness. The peat is more campfire-like than on the nose, and reminds me of a misty autumn morning in the woods, waking up to an allmost burnt-out campfire, and getting it going again with some slightly moist branches, making the smoke rise high (though the peat is still light). Finish: This whisky just gets better and better. The lovely herbal peat lingers, infused with just hints of apples and pears. After a while light chocholate can be detected. Overall: The nose did not impress me too much, but tve palate and especially the finish did. Mackmyra’s spirit holds a fruity, cereal, allmost yeasty quality which is lovely, but very delicate. This take on it maintains both this delicacy and infuses it with an additinal layer of taste. Overall I score it a very solid 3.75 (i.e. really good, just not quite in ”great” territory).
