Mackmyra Preludium Swedish whisky

What about some Mackmyra Preludium whisky at 12:20 today?

This wasn’t a question but rather an offer from someone I highly respect and admire.

I am sick having some flu, not the swine flu, but the normal flu added to some pollen allergy.

I would say Mackmyra Preludium made my day or the start of my day :)

Thanks a lot C.K. and one day you will get a special offering back from me.

Want to know more about Mackmyra?

Mackmyra Preludium
Preludium is a range of six varieties that offer a foretaste of Swedish malt whisky. Each of these varieties has its own character, and together they offer an excellent insight into our production process and our whisky stock. Mackmyra Preludium enables the whisky connoisseur to track the development of the Swedish malt whisky experience. Each variety has been bottled in a limited volume during 2006 and 2007.

The different varieties have so far been available at Systembolaget [the State-owned alcohol monopoly] in volumes of approx. 4,000 to 9,000 bottles. At many outlets long queues formed on the launch dates, and all bottles were sold within a few hours.
