The Swedish section is led by Mackmyra, followed by Smögen, High Coast and Agitator, with the island distillery Spirit of Hven. Almost all of it is single malt, much of it young, peated and at high strength, and many bottles are 50cl. Limited releases and single casks make up a large part of the range.
Sweden's long winters and short, warm summers create large temperature swings, which push spirit in and out of the wood. Distillers often use smaller casks, and Swedish oak, which is tight-grained and spicy, is a recognisable feature. Some producers dry malt with local peat, juniper or birch rather than Scottish peat. Swedish whisky follows the European rule of at least three years in wood.
Many releases come in 50cl bottles and at cask strength, so check size and ABV when comparing. Batch numbers and cask types are usually printed on the label, and early or first editions are collected in their own right.
Yes. Sweden has a small but well-regarded whisky industry, started by Mackmyra in 1999. Other distilleries include Smögen, High Coast, Agitator and Spirit of Hven. Most make single malt, often peated, and use Swedish oak or small casks.
Mackmyra is a single malt whisky from Sweden, near Gävle, founded in 1999 as the country’s first malt whisky distillery. It is known for using Swedish oak casks and local ingredients, and some releases are smoked with juniper and peat. Mackmyra has released many limited seasonal editions.
Smögen is a small whisky distillery on Sweden’s west coast that makes heavily peated single malt. It produces small batches and single casks, usually at cask strength, and is rated highly by fans of smoky whisky. Many releases come in 50cl bottles.
Swedish oak is a slow-growing, tight-grained European oak. Casks made from it give whisky spicy, woody and sometimes resinous notes, often stronger than American oak. Swedish distilleries such as Mackmyra use it for full maturation or for finishing.
High Coast is a whisky distillery in Ångermanland, northern Sweden, formerly called Box Destilleri. It makes both peated and unpeated single malts with a clean, fruity style. Its name comes from the High Coast area, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
