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 prominent name in the emergence of Nordic whisky, recognised for combining traditional malt whisky production with a distinctly Swedish approach to cask selection and maturation.
The brand's character has frequently been influenced by local barley, Swedish oak, smoky recipes using native peat and maturation in distinctive locations, including the Bodås mine. Mackmyra's whiskies are typically bright, aromatic and contemporary in style, featuring orchard fruit, vanilla, spice and clean malt notes, whilst its peated expressions introduce a drier, herbal smoke.
After financial challenges and bankruptcy proceedings in 2024, Mackmyra's assets were purchased by Lennart Hero and No. 1 Capital, offering the brand a pathway forward under new ownership. Its contribution remains substantial: Mackmyra helped establish Sweden as a credible whisky-producing nation and continues to be recognised for innovation, transparency and a strong sense of place.
