Mackmyra AI-02 Intelligens Swedish Single Malt Whisky

Mackmyra AI-02 Intelligens Swedish Single Malt Whisky is a 92.2 proof (46.1% ABV), 700mL single malt — the second recipe in the world's first AI-created whisky series. Mackmyra developed the Intelligens line with Microsoft's Azure cloud platform and Finnish tech consultancy Fourkind: an AI model trained on the distillery's 75 existing recipes plus sales data, customer preferences, reviews, and awards generated more than 70 million recipe combinations, and Master Blender Angela D'Orazio mentored the algorithm round by round until it learned her palate. AI-02 is the second expression born of that process, bottled in 2021 with no age statement. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

The Whisky a Machine Designed

The Intelligens project started with a simple idea: teach an algorithm what great whisky tastes like. Fourkind's model ingested Mackmyra's entire recipe library and years of customer data, then proposed tens of millions of combinations; Angela D'Orazio accepted the good ones and corrected the bad ones until the model's taste matched hers. The result is anything but robotic on the nose: fruity green pear and honey blended with vanilla and butterscotch, leading to vanilla fudge with citrus, a slightly spicy pepper note, and a clear oak-barrel character — all softly wrapped in smoky peat and juniper, with a sweet, fruity finish and a discreet smoky tail (Mackmyra's official notes). The 30-litre virgin Swedish oak cask — a Mackmyra signature, maturing whisky more intensively than standard sizes — carries a pre-stored smoky recipe into the blend.

How to Enjoy

Neat, in good company, with the story — this is a conversation bottle. A few drops of water open the fruit and let the peat-and-juniper smoke come through.
