Mackmyra Svensk Whisky, established in 1999 as the first Scandinavian malt-whisky distillery, is set in a historic bruk (works) about 10km west of Gävle and offers tasting sessions (Skr4395) that must be booked in advance via the website. Mackmyra also has the additional Whiskyby distillery and lookout tower just west of Gävle, off the E4, which can be visited separately (10am to 5pm).
