Those Mackmyra folks really know how to push boundaries, and this may be one of the wildest things we’ve come across in a hot minute. Yep, this here is Mackmyra Intelligens, a single malt created using an artificial intelligence programme, hence why it’s been dubbed AI. The AI analysed Mackmyra’s original 75 recipes and generated over 70 million recipes from that. One of them was this futuristic expression, a no age statement single malt weighing in at 46.1% ABV, but other than that it’s rather mysterious. The bottle is packaged with an NFC tag, a piece of ‘intelligent packaging’ which smartphone users can scan in order to find out more information about the whisky. If there’s yet another Blade Runner sequel, we’d put money on future Harrison Ford drinking this.
