- Description
- Mackmyra's Björksav draws on Swedish spring symbolism, combining whisky from bourbon, Oloroso sherry, Swedish oak, and birch sap wine casks into a bright, floral single malt. The birch sap cask contribution imparts delicate herbal and botanical notes alongside orchard fruit from the sherry casks and vanilla from bourbon aging. The result is notably light and refreshing compared to traditionally heavy sherried expressions, with lifted aromatics. Perfect for spring and summer drinking, or for those seeking floral complexity without excessive weight.
