Moment Lava is a smoky Swedish single malt whisky that offers warm tones of roasted oak, red grapes and creamy vanilla. The whisky was distilled at Mackmyra Bruk and matured in Bodås Gruva for 9 to 11 years in 200-litre 1st fill ex-Bourbon casks and 128-litre 1st fill Oloroso casks. The whisky is fruity with the fine spice of tobacco leaves, raisins, buttercream and vanilla in combination with distinct smoky tones. The texture is creamy and medium-rich. Moment Lava is perfect for serving as an avec / accompaniment with a medium-strong cheese.
