About This Whiskey

Mackmyra Moment Rimfrost is a Swedish single malt whisky from the prestigious Moment series, a collection of limited-edition whiskies that highlight the distillery’s innovation and craftsmanship. Rimfrost is a special expression that was inspired by the cold, frosty winters of Sweden. It is characterized by a mix of rich fruit, spices, and oak, and is aged in a combination of Swedish oak casks, ex-bourbon casks, and sherry casks, giving it a unique and complex flavor profile. The whisky embodies the spirit of the season, offering a warming, wintery experience.

Tasting Notes

NOSE: The nose is full of rich, inviting aromas. At the forefront are notes of dark fruit such as dried figs, prunes, and blackberries, complemented by sweet, warming spices like cinnamon, ginger, and clove. There’s a deep honeyed sweetness that balances the fruitiness, with subtle hints of vanilla, toffee, and toasted oak. The sherry cask influence brings forward a hint of dark chocolate and nuts, adding layers of depth and complexity to the nose.

TASTE: On the palate, Rimfrost is full-bodied and warming. The rich dark fruits from the nose—raisins, figs, and black cherries—carry through, harmonizing with the sweetness of honey, vanilla, and caramel. The oak influence is prominent, adding spiced elements of cinnamon, nutmeg, and a slight peppery kick. The sherry cask provides a touch of dried fruits and chocolate, balancing the whisky's sweetness with a gentle bitterness. The complexity of the flavors is well-integrated, making for a smooth and satisfying experience.

FINISH: Long and warming, with the dark fruits and spices lingering on the palate. The oak influence continues to shine, providing a dry, slightly smoky finish with hints of chocolate and a subtle sweetness. The warming spices persist, leaving behind a satisfying aftertaste that is both comforting and rich.
