Moment Bärnsten has been matured in the Bodås mine and was put in casks from 2004 to 2007. Enjoy the summer memories in this comforting whisky with hints of sun ripe berries and a light smokiness.rful whisky.

Nose: The aroma is rich and fruity, slightly smoky and spicy with hints of dried fruit, peat and juniper, leather and tobacco.

Taste: Fruity, smoky and spicy with aromas of dried fruit, tobacco leaf, oak, citrus and vanilla.

Summary: Dried fruit, spicy herbs, tobacco leaf, and a slight saltiness and smokiness.

 

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.
