This unique whisky has been carefully aged for a full twenty years in ex-bourbon casks, 50 meters underground in the Bodås mine. The whisky is the result of Mackmyra’s elegant recipe and the first Reserve cask to be filled, a historic event that took place on December 20, 2002. Mackmyra No 001 is a single cask, i.e. whisky from only one cask and bottled at cask strength on December 29, 2022.

The whisky expresses dignity, gratitude and history. This exclusive collector’s edition is the result of many people’s faith in Mackmyra, our ambassadors, our loyal customers and, not least, our proud employees.
