Spirit of HVEN
MerCurious Corn Whisky

Category: Swedish Whisky

Date Tasted:
Country: Sweden
Alcohol: 45.6%
Golden amber color. Aromas and flavors of sea salt on toffee, caramel on orange with vanilla, honey baked apple and bee pollen, and freshly baked honey wheat loaf with a round, vibrant, dry medium body and a peppery, engaging, medium-long finish that shows nuances of coffee cake, vanilla cream corn, marzipan, and toasted brioche. A lovely Whisky with good depth and complexity of flavors; simple enough to drink, yet complex enough to pore over.

About
Swedish Whisky
Whisky has only been produced in Sweden since 1999 when Macmyra first began distilling. Since then a handful of single malt producers have popped up in the country that previously had no tradition of making whisky. Inspired by Scotland's single malts but decidedly Swedish in grain selection and use of oak, these whiskys are an interesting drink to seek out.

Spirit of HVEN MerCurious Corn Whisky rating was calculated by to be 93 points out of 100 on 6/20/2023. Please note that MSRP may have changed since the date of our review.
