  • DESCRIPTION
  • TASTING NOTES
  • CASKS

Moment Lava is a smoky Swedish single malt whisky that offers warm tones of roasted oak, red grapes and creamy vanilla. The whisky was distilled at Mackmyra Bruk and matured in Bodås Gruva for 9 to 11 years in 200-litre 1st fill ex-Bourbon casks and 128-litre 1st fill Oloroso casks. The whisky is fruity with the fine spice of tobacco leaves, raisins, buttercream and vanilla in combination with distinct smoky tones. The texture is creamy and medium-rich. 

Nose: Fruity, spicy and smoky with light tar, chocolate and pear drops, marzipan and ginger. Lighter notes of Roquefort and minerals.

Taste: Fruity, slightly smoky and toasted oak in combination with salt and tobacco leaf. Sweet tones of raisins, butterscotch and vanilla.

Summary: Spicy vanilla, soft oak and tobacco leaves. A long and dry finish.

 

The Moment Edition Story

Down in Bodås mine, thousands of casks are stored which are periodically quality tested by Mackmyra's Master Blender, Angela D'Orazio. During her trips to the mine, she sometimes encounters some casks that stand out from the rest, and these casks deserve to be bottled as they are or in an edition with an extra clear vision. Due to this reason, Mackmyra created the exclusive series called Moment. Here, Mackmyra's most special casks and recipes come into their own. Each edition has a very limited amount of bottles that are released and you can expect at least one new Moment edition per year.
