Green tea? I appreciate Mackmyra's willingness to experiment. Amidst their varied offerings, some great and some not, this one lands on the positive side, though not a knockout. This Swedish spirit could benefit from a smoother texture, given the array of flavors present. That's the sole drawback, as the drink presents a diverse collection of elements. I detected butter and cream, along with a floral aroma. Tea, certainly, but not like the pricey Japanese spirits of today; it's more of an essence than a dominant taste. Again, the balance could be improved. The conclusion is earthy. Unusual but enjoyable. There's sweetness and a hint of tartness. It's surprising yet satisfying. Upon review, I've focused too much on the negative. This is a delightful, unique, and engaging drink that I found enjoyable. However, I believe it could have progressed from good to excellent with a more refined character.

About this bottle
Mackmyra Grönt Te, meaning green tea in Swedish, is part of the distillery's seasonal range, which features innovative seasonal characteristics. To create Mackmyra Grönt Te, clear spirit was macerated with a blend of green teas: Kaoribo Hojicha, Yame Sencha, Yame Gyokuro, and Yame Matcha. The resulting maceration was then diluted with oloroso sherry, which was subsequently used to season casks for a 19-month finishing period.
