Mackmyra is a pioneering Swedish single malt whisky brand, established in 1999 by eight friends who aimed to create a whisky rooted in Sweden's landscape, climate and ingredients. Located near Gävle, it became a leading name in the emergence of Nordic whisky, recognized for combining traditional malt whisky production with a distinctly Swedish approach to cask selection and maturation.
The brand's character has often been influenced by local barley, Swedish oak, smoky recipes using native peat and maturation in unusual locations, including the Bodås mine. Mackmyra's whiskies tend to be bright, aromatic and modern in style, featuring orchard fruit, vanilla, spice and clean malt notes, while its peated expressions add a drier, herbal smoke.
After financial difficulties and bankruptcy proceedings in 2024, Mackmyra's assets were purchased by Lennart Hero and No. 1 Capital, providing the brand a path forward under new ownership. Its legacy remains significant: Mackmyra helped establish Sweden as a credible whisky-producing nation and continues to be recognized for innovation, transparency and a strong sense of place.
