Mackmyra creates a whisky inspired by a magical phenomenon

10-Sep-2021 - Sweden

Deep beneath a mountain, 50 metres underground, rests what will later rise to the heavens, explode and become a new phenomenon. The story of Stjärnrök continues Mackmyra's proud tradition of challenging the traditional norms of the whisky world and its desire to spread Swedish flavours, craftsmanship and nature beyond the country's borders. In that spirit, this year's autumn release is now Stjärnrök, a warming whisky for cooler seasons inspired by the magic of the Nordic firmament.

Stjärnrök is a limited edition single malt that will launch at Systembolaget on September 15, 2021.
Mackmyra launches new seasonal limited editions every year, which has become a successful tradition in Sweden for the past 16 years. The releases have also brought the distillery to international attention for its innovative Swedish craftsmanship and have contributed significantly to Mackmyra's development and leadership in the New World whisky category.

Mackmyra has used large quantities of its own artisanal smoke recipe for this year's autumn release, which has then been matured in unoaked, ex-bourbon casks and new American oak casks of varying sizes. To complement the smoke and rounded notes of the oloroso, we added a number of older ex-bourbon casks filled with an elegant recipe that contributes zesty citrus and vanilla notes. It's all tied together by the addition of spicy Swedish oak casks soaked in Swedish cloudberry wine.
Mackmyra's seasonal whisky Stjärnrök will join Systembolaget's range on 15 September 2021.
