There are a number of distilleries scattered across the country, and as the popularity of their current offering rises, we’ll no doubt see an influx of new Swedish whisky brands in the coming years. The craft of making whisky in Sweden starts with the pure, natural ingredients that the country is known for. The pristine water, sourced from Sweden's untainted rivers and underground springs, is a crucial element. The cold climate contributes to the slow growth of the barley, resulting in a dense grain with a rich flavour profile. Moreover, Sweden's strong commitment to environmental sustainability means that much of the barley used is organically grown.
