Mackmyra 2007 13YO Cask #10541, Single Cask Nation

Founded in 2011 by Joshua Hatton (an American) and Jason Johnstone-Yellin (a Scot), Single Cask Nation is the United States' only independent bottler following the Scottish tradition. Each cask selected is bottled at natural cask strength, free from chill filtering and artificial colour, with the distillery source front and center. While the SCN reputation was established with exquisite Scotch selections we also bottle American bourbon, rye, single malt, rum, mezcal, and light whisky (aka American grain whisky).

Tasting notes:
Colour: Warming Yellow Gold

Nose: An assertive nutty and sawn timber aroma leads into warm yeasty bread dough. Perhaps some linseed oil is soaking into the freshly sawn timber, a touch of aniseed at the end invites you into the dram.

Palate: A pleasing warming spice greets the palate with those warm, freshly baked cinnamon & cardamom buns making their presence known. (The Swedish ones without the icing, of course) They are closely followed by juicy baked apples, raisins and pears with sweet baked peach melba at the end.

Finish: More goodies from the bakery - a freshly out of the oven peach and custard pastry. A wonderfully creamy mouthfeel makes the finish a sweet and rewarding one.
