Mackmyra.



I was humming and hawing about whether to include this one but feel it's deserving of a fair hearing. I was in Vilnius and saw an advert for a whisky bar in one of those free maps they hand out at tourist information points. I thought they'd have at least some of the sort of quality products I'm interested in among their 300 bottles but it turns out they mostly trade in boring, entry level, stuff like Bunnahaibhan Darach Ur, Caol Ila and Jura Superstition. They did have this little doozy from Sweden though. They dry their malt over juniper instead of peat so it sort of tastes like when you're at a party and there's not enough mugs so you just use one that someone's been drinking gin and lemonade out of. Surprising, but in a nice way.
