Green tea? Got to love Mackmyra. They are never afraid to try something. In a range which is hit and miss, this is a hit if not a huge one. Swedish spirit, which could be smoother as it battles the flavour range on show. That's pretty much the only negative as the product has a smorgasbord (see what I did there?) of content. I got butter and cream. A floral note. Tea. Obviously but not in the same way it comes across in now-unaffordable Japanese bottles, it is very much an air rather than a presence. Again, balance issues. The finish is loamy. Odd but fun. There's a sweet note and a touch of astringancy. It is unexpected but pleasing. Reading back, I've struck a negative note which is not my intention. This is a pleasing, different and challenging pour which I enjoyed. I feel though it could have moved from good to very good with a smoother backbone.
About this bottle
Mackmyra Grönt Te (Swedish for green tea) is part of the season range of the distillery. This series includes editions featuring innovative seasonal characteristics. To create the Mackmyra Grönt Te, some clean spirit was macerated with a selection of green tea: Kaoribo Hojicha, Yame Sencha, Yame Gyokuro and Yame Matcha. The resulting maceration was diluted with oloroso sherry, which then was used to season casks that were used for a 19 month finish.
