👉 Single malt whisky in the context of Malt whisky
Malt whisky is whisky made from a fermented mash consisting of malted barley. If the product is made exclusively at a single distillery (along with other restrictions), it is typically called a single malt whisky. Although malt whisky can be made using other malted grains besides barley, those types are not called malt whisky without specifying the grain, such as rye malt whisky or buckwheat malt whisky.

Single malt whisky in the context of Mackmyra Whisky
Mackmyra Whisky was a Swedish Single malt whisky distillery. On 19 August 2024, Mackmyra Svensk Whisky AB filed for bankruptcy. After the bankruptcy, more than 50 organizations expressed interest to buy Mackmyra, such interest level is unprecedented in Swedish history.
It is named after the village and manor of Mackmyra, where the first distillery was established, in the residential district of Valbo, south-west of Gävle. The toponym is commonly suggested as deriving from a regional word for gnats (Swedish: mack) and mire (Swedish: myr). However, owlet moths have all but disappeared from present-day Mackmyra, due to the gradual rebound of land—a result of the melting of ice sheets 10,000 years ago.
