MACKMYRA - Kreator Organic Gin - 47.3%
"Why are there no whiskey distilleries in Sweden?" asked one of the friends. None of the others could answer the question, leaving it hanging in the air. Sweden doesn't have a whiskey-making tradition, however, when the three friends started exploring the possibility of creating a Swedish Single Malt whisky , they saw nothing but opportunities: in Sweden is one of purest waters in the world, filtered to perfection since the Ice Age. It is no coincidence that the distillery is located next to a rock with constant access to crystal clear waters. Swedish barley develops a special sweetness during the long summer days, a sweetness that has become one of the cornerstones of Mackmyra's whisky. Much of the whiskey is stored in new Swedish oak. Swedish oak grows slowly in the harsh climate and gives the whiskey a harsher flavor than American oak. The whiskey gets a fiery spice balanced by a sweetness similar to caramelized sugar. Today, the group of friends and Angela d'Orazio , the master blender, produce whiskey with the same joy of discovery and experimentation as at the start of 1999, while producing a whiskey without additives and with the least possible impact on the environment.
Kreatör Gin is the distillery's premier gin, produced exclusively from carefully selected natural Swedish organic botanicals then distilled in a classic pot still at Mackmyra Bruk. The botanicals used are: juniper, orange, lime, Bourbon vanilla, lemon, grapefruit, pink pepper, bitter orange, cinnamon, ginger, cranberry, cardamom, coriander seeds, anise, raspberries and elderflower.
