Mackmyra Moment Medvind (Tailwind) was the first release in the Moment whisky series from Mackmyra. It was bottled and released in December 2010 and was a limited release of 967 bottles.
This is a medium peated release from Mackmyra, which means we should detect the very characteristic juniper smoke. It has been matured in a mix of different 30 liter casks; bourbon, sherry, and Swedish virgin oak.
Mackmyra Moment Medvind was sold at SEK 1295 when it was launched. It is now sold out.
Nose: (23/25): Very soft and appealing. Light peat that has married almost perfectly and seamlessly with the sherry notes here. This is harmony in a glass! Fruits and berries (in particular blackcurrant), fresh cut timber, sawdust, and mild caramel. The peat does have that slight juniper edge.
Taste: (21/25): Light peat (softer than on the nose – still juniper smoke), a bit more oak, caramel. Soft.
Finish: (20/25): A bit on the short side, sugary and more oak. Dried fruits.
Balance: (21/25): Again a Mackmyra with a very nice nose. I think my nose is adapting well to the Mackmyra character, on the nose that is, on the palate some of these expressions still feel a bit young – like this one.
Score: (85/100)

Moment Medvind has been matured in Bodps mine and on Fjäderholmarna and contains whisky from all different small casks from Mackmyra, where the whisky was casked between 2002 and 2006. Notes according to Mackmyras webpage: Nose: The nose is very rich with a lot of smoke, vanilla toffee and loads of dried fruit. Taste: The palate is concentrated with sherry and dried fruit, soft oak and a significant smokiness with juniper, peat and tar. The aftertaste has light notes of tar and spice, dried fruit and tobacco leaves. | |
