The result is an elegant whisky with a light spiciness and tones of sun-warmed fruit, tropical berries, buttery pear toffee and toasted oak. Vintersol (Winter Sun) is available in a limited edition.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Mackmyra is now presenting a seasonal whisky with a port finish; the release is a collaboration with Quinta Do Vallado, one of the oldest and most reputable port producers in the Portuguese Douro Valley. Vintersol has been 50 per cent finished for 16 months in Swedish oak casks that previously held port. With the port setting the tone, Vintersol has been given a warm, slightly spicy character with hints of vanilla, chocolate and pepper that is equally suitable for mulled wine parties as for sitting by the fireside.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe love to collaborate with other unique beverage companies that stand for craftsmanship and innovation. The partnership with Quinta de Vallado is no exception. After last year\u2019s sales success of 30-litre whisky casks that we\u2019d saturated with port from Vallado, we are now releasing Vintersol. The finish gives the whisky a distinct oak and berry taste. A whisky that\u2019s perfect now that autumn and winter are coming,\u201d says Eric Br\u00e4ck, head of Mackmyra\u2019s cask koncept.<\/p>\n<p>Vintersol is an elegant single malt whisky finished in Bod\u00e5s mine. The scent is spicy and herbaceous with fruity, warm wine-like grape tones with a certain minerality, followed by soft aromas of oaky vanilla, aniseed, ginger, raisins, pear toffee and vanilla. The taste is soft, fruity and spicy, with dried fruit, pears, raisins, ginger and vanilla. The texture is creamy and medium-bodied with an aftertaste that is fruity, spicy and oaky with warm raisins.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mackmyra\u2019s seasonal whisky Vintersol is being launched in a limited edition from October.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/b16c59dea03d60ae_800x800ar.jpg\"><img data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/b16c59dea03d60ae_800x800ar.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/b16c59dea03d60ae_800x800ar-113x300.jpg 113w\" decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/b16c59dea03d60ae_800x800ar.jpg\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-45508 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" alt=\"\"    sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-45508\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/b16c59dea03d60ae_800x800ar.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/b16c59dea03d60ae_800x800ar.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/b16c59dea03d60ae_800x800ar-113x300.jpg 113w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Together with the classic Portuguese port producer Quinta Do Vallado, Mackmyra has developed this year\u2019s seasonal edition, a whisky finished in oak casks saturated with [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":45507,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2597,1,477,7099,7097],"tags":[69,4575,8553,8550,8549,8551,1328,8552],"class_list":["post-45506","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-best-selling-brands-in-duty-free","category-latest-news","category-latest-promotions-in-duty-free","category-spirits","category-wines-spirits","tag-duty-free","tag-mackmyra","tag-mackmyra-swedish-whisky","tag-mackmyra-vintersol","tag-quinta-do-vallado","tag-seasonal-whisky","tag-sweden","tag-vintersol"],"acf":[],"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45506","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=45506"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45506\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/45507"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=45506"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=45506"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=45506"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
