Mackmyra - Svensk Rök - Tasting Notes

Nose

Soft sweet smoke, vanilla, pine, a good wood campfire, berries, forest freshness after some rain, some nice warm wood notes.

Spicy notes coming through, bit pepper, cinnamon and ginger. Dark chocolate, toffee, raisin, dark summer fruits, and orange and citrus notes.

Palate
First there are some tobacco notes that hit the palate together with some green herbs like thyme.

Bit smoky dry at first with some pepper, cinnamon, vanilla and toffee sweetness mixed with dark chocolate.

Then some more honeyed sweetness emerges, with a fruity side. Green apples, banana, gooseberry, and grapes. But also some red berries, and cranberry in the mix.

Finish
Medium length finish, combination of a bit malty, raisin, vanilla and chocolate, like a fruity granola bar with chocolate on top...

Score
Svensk Rök is smoked with Juniper berry's and has a light, sweet and fruity tone to it. It is a very nice dram, and fresh and sweet. 

Gave it a 7 out of 10 when I tasted it at Maltstock. Have to put it at a 7.5 now, lovely, more depth to it then I remember from Maltstock. Proves again you have to taste something many times to get a good review on it :-) 

Bottled at 46.1 %, and with that Juniper smoke I must say I find it intriguing the different kind of "smoke" they get in to it. Lovely...
