So, time for the 16th release in Mackmyra’s Moment Series. The Mackmyra Moment Malström (“Maelstrom”) was released on 2014-06-02, in a limited run of 1600 bottles. You will find more info about this release on the official website here.
Here is what Mackmyra say about this particular release:
“Our sixteenth release in the Moment series is a spicy, flavorful, Swedish malt whisky with intense cask notes in a very limited edition. The character comes from fine 30-liters casks of all kinds. Many different cask types and styles come together in this whisky, creating a fine unity. A delightful taste explosion with light smoke.”
You can still pick up a bottle of the Mackmyra Moment Malstöm online at around GBP 112.
Nose: Hmm..dusty citrus, anyone? Limes and oranges. Somewhat oaky as well, spicy and fresh. Toasted oak and fading wood smoke.
Taste: Medium body. A bit raw on the edges, straight off. Warm and with a bite of alcohol. Oak, vanilla and strange spices.
Finish: Medium to short finish. Oaky, spicy and raw all the way. There is a bitter character to it that I cannot quite place.
Comments: Not quite finding the balance with this one.
Score: (75/100)

Moment Malströms gets its character from 30 litre casks of all kinds. Many different cask types come together in this whisky, giving it a multitude of flavours and a light smokiness. Notes according to Mackmyras webpage: Nose: Intensely oaky, berry, fruity and spicy with aromas of light smoke, dried- and candied fruit. Taste: Fruity, spicy, slightly smoky and rich. Butterscotch, dried fruit and a vanilla oakiness. The aftertaste is fruity, oaky and spicy. | |
