![]() ![]() The band most likely choose Mackmyra because drummer Mikkey Dee hales from Sweden. To commemorate this achievement the Motorhead Whisky was released in collaboration with beverage partner Brands for Fans and the Mackmyra distillery. In 2015 it celebrated its 40th Anniversary. The British Rock/Heavy Metal Band Motorhead was formed in June 1975. But it seems that the situation is back under control now and the future looks bright. As a result production went down considerably. The owners (Mackmyra Svensk Whisky AB) suffered some financial problems in 2014, probably as a result of the huge investment in the new distillery. This process decreases energy costs by almost 45%. The new structure is one of the highest in its kind and follows the gravity model where the production process starts on the upper floor and works it way downwards. It is located just outside Gavle, only a few miles away from the first distillery. In 2012 a new distillery started production. The first Mackmyra distillery was founded in 1999.

But fortunately it doesn't get out of control. Palate: The Youth of the Spirit is more noticeable now. The Nose is certainly not unpleasant although it's more Abba than Motorhead. The First-Fill American Oak barrels lead the way but the Sherry cask finish is noticeable as well and slightly masks the youth of the Spirit. On the Nose, Motorhead is mostly Sweet with some Sour and Herbal notes. I also find Freshly baked Croissant, Salted Butter, Butterkekse (German Butter Biscuits), Toasted Cereals, Caramel, Toffee, Honey, Sugared Almonds, Vanilla, Hay, Dried Fruit/Nuts mix, Dried and Fresh Herbs, Lemon, Aniseed and some faint hints of Green Tobacco, Tutti Frutti Bubble Gum and Freshly printed Newspaper. Light Resin, Alcohol and Varnish are there as well but not in a very aggressive way. Nose: I immediately get the Aroma of the New Wood that is quite characteristic for West-European mainland Whisky. ![]()
