Product description
Björksaw, one of the latest versions of the Swedish single malt Mackmyra, is inspired by the long-awaited arrival of spring.
“Björksaw” means birch sap, and this whisky was created in collaboration with Grythyttan Vin, a producer of traditional Nordic wines; the winery uses forest berries and fruits as well as birch sap. The latter is collected in early spring, when the first buds appear on the trees, then fermented for several months in steel tanks. Mackmyra Björksaw is aged in Swedish and American oak barrels seasoned with birch wine and fresh bourbon barrels. This edition hit the market in 2021 in the amount of 15,000 bottles.
