Smögen

Smögen Whisky is a distillery in Sweden which produces single malt whisky and gin.

Established in 2009 by Pär Caldenby, a lawyer, whisky enthusiast and author of Enjoying Malt Whisky, the Smögen Distillery produced its first spirit in 2010 after receiving a grant of almost a million Swedish krona from the government. The distillery is named after nearby Smögen Island, and is located on a farm near Hunnebostrand, on the west coast of Sweden, north of Gothenburg.

The distillery has a 900 litre wash still, a 600 litre spirit still, and a production capacity of 35000 litres. The first bottling, of a three-year-old cask strength single malt whisky, took place in 2013, called Smögen Primör.
