Øutständing Swedish Single Malt with a wonderful twist.

Eight friends from the Stockholm Royal Institute of Technology met for a ski trip in Mackmyra in 1998. Each brought Whisky as a gift for the host, so they started talking about making Swedish Whisky. Lucky for us, they brought the wild idea to fruition, established the company the very next year, and experimented with 170 different recipes. It took them another three years before they found the winning pair of recipes, built the distillery in an old mill in Mackmyra, and started distilling. Their first Single Malt was released in 2006 - and sold out in 20 minutes. The Swedish maverick was born.

Mackmyra Björksav is a Swedish Single Malt that celebrates springtime with its floral and refreshing character. The juice matured in three types of casks: ex-Bourbon, Oloroso-seasoned American oak barrels, and Swedish/American casks that used to hold birch sap Wine from Grythyttan. The wine is basically fermented tree sap mixed with water, sugar, and lemons. Björksav is a marvelous testament to innovation, craftsmanship, and collaboration. It will surprise you, we promise.

The two biggest Whisky producers in Japan and major rivals are Nikka and Suntory.  
In 2011, Mackmyra built the most climate-smart distillery in the world where gravity is used to produce Whisky. Since 2017, Mackmyra distills its own Gin at their first Whisky distillery.
When Stauning was being founded, the bank told them to open a bakery instead.
Is it spelled Whisky or Whiskey? Maybe you've noticed it before, but let’s just take a wee moment to help you keep your Es in order with this simple rule: There is an E in the word Ireland, so there is also an E in their Whiskey. The rule also holds true for United States, so while there is no E in Scotland, Japan and Canada the same goes for their Whisky. All clear? Good.
Danish malted rye didn’t exist before Stauning started making it.
In the U.S., Irish Whiskey sales have jumped by over 500% since 2002. It’s the fastest growing category in the Spirits industry. There’s some news to raise your glass to.
