Mackmyra: What Went Wrong, What Can We Learn?

Update: 2024-09-24

Description

Following up on last month's announcement that Swedish whisky giants Mackmyra were filing for bankruptcy, we take a look at what this might mean for the future of the whisky industry. Why is quality alone not enough, and what can other distilleries do to avoid going the same way?

This episode was sponsored by Kyrö Distillery - the same distillery we talk about at the start of this episode! The EuroWhisky blog now has an article all about the distillery visit and Kyrofest, so check it out to learn more about them!

Other distilleries mentioned:

- Kings County

- High Coast

- Old Well

- Port of Leith
