A toasty, festive single malt whisky from Swedish distillery Mackmyra.
The name translates from the Swedish for “winter glow”, and is inspired by the mulled wine (Glögg) traditional consumed during the Yuletide period.
To recreate the spicy glow, they’ve matured this whisky in a mixture of casks that have previously held syrupy, sweet Pedro Ximénez sherry and Swedish mulled wine.
The result is a superb whisky, packed with notes of Christmas cake, fudge, blackcurrant, black tea, cloves, cinnamon, anise, nutmeg, citrus rind, juicy oranges and grapefruits, sherry, almond, oak, ginger and toffee.
Bottled at 46.1% ABV, and without chill filtration or artificial colouration, this is a rich and natural whisky.
