- Mackmyra Svensk Whisky AB (publ) produces and sells premium single malt whisky, gin, and liqueurs primarily under the Mackmyra brand; its core offerings include the standard range of The First Edition, Brukswhisky, and Svensk Rök single malts, special editions such as Midvinter, Midnattssol, Moment series, Reserve single barrel whiskies, and 10-year-old expressions, as well as other spirits like unmatured Vit Hund raw whisky and Bee whisky-honey liqueur. The company utilizes exclusively Swedish ingredients, including local barley, spring water, peat from nearby bogs, and Swedish oak casks, with maturation in unique locations such as the underground Bodås Mine in Hofors and other sites including Skogslagret, Loftsdalen, Häckeberga, Fjäderholmarna, and Paris; it operates two distilleries near Gävle, the original pilot facility established in 2002 with a capacity of 600,000 bottles annually and a larger gravity-powered distillery opened in 2011 capable of 1.8 million bottles per year. Founded in 1999 and headquartered in Gävle, Sweden, Mackmyra Svensk Whisky serves the domestic market as the leading single malt producer while exporting to international markets including France, Germany, the UK, Canada, and the United States. In August 2024, the company filed for bankruptcy due to liquidity challenges but was acquired on October 1, 2024, by principal shareholder and former board member Lennart Hero alongside investment firm No.1 Capital AB, enabling continuity of operations, staff retention, barrel owner commitments, and plans for global expansion; recent product developments encompass an updated core range with Svensk Ek and Svensk Rök single malts reintroduced to the UK market via a distribution deal with Summerton Whisky Club, alongside 25th anniversary celebrations in 2024 featuring limited releases and events.
