A community dedicated to talking about, discovering, flaunting and discussing consumer products that are made in Europe by European companies.
Definitions:
- Consumer Products: anything that you and I, as regular people, can buy. We all love Gripen fighter jets, but they don't belong here.
- Made in Europe: Manufactured and readily available in the European Union, Ukraine, Norway, Iceland, Switzerland, UK etc. The more local, niche, artisanal, environmentally friendly or socially responsible, the better.
- European companies: Independant companies or companies mostly or fully owned by other European companies.
Rules:
- Don't be a cunt. We do not tolerate racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, xenophobia or any other kind of discrimination. Authoritarian and autocratic regimes apologists won't be tolerated either.
- Only post about consumer products. Our sister communities are overrun with posts about EU economic and trade policies, defense spending or industry trends. Any post like that will be deleted.
- Exceptions can be made to promote tech companies who can't (yet) build their products in Europe yet are fully European and privacy respecting (examples include FairPhone, Jolla, Polar etc.)

If I were not allowed to buy Irish or Scottish whiskey (all my go to brands are Irish/Scottish😅), then I would probably go with Swedish Mackmyra. I am not a fan of "Mack", but otherwise I think they are all solid choises (though I have not tried any of their most expensive ones).
I also realized One Nine Spirits have a whiskey. I have to be honest and say I have not tried the whiskey, but everything else I have tried by them is really good, and I think they are my favourite Swedish alcohole brand!
Oh Nice! I haven't had a decent aquavit in ages, I might be tempted if they can be found outside ~~Sweden~~ Systembolaget
What are your favorite spirits of theirs?
A friend of mine has one. It was OK but nothing special.
I did a distillery tour of Hercynian in Germany and the owner said that due to fire regulations they need to vent the barrel storage rooms to keep the alcohol concentration in the air below a threshold. This leads to more evaporation and a shorter aged whiskey tasting more like a longer aged whiskey. This regulation doesn‘t exist in Scotland or Ireland, where you can really taste the alcohol in the air. Anyway they will probably say that this venting would destroy the whiskey taste. I think Hercynian whiskey tastes exceptional.
Same in the US. Distilleries call it the "Angels' Share" and it can get strong in warmer months.
I'm in the US and recently discovered that High Coast (Sweden) is available in my area. I also visited their distillery a few months ago and sampled some of their whiskies!
High Coast Hav can be found here for $42 which is less than at Systembolaget in Sweden. It's lightly peated and I'm working on my second bottle of it.
High Coast 63 -- I was surprised to find this here and I bought a bottle for $120. It's heavily peated, smoky, piney and briny. I'm absolutely loving it and highly recommend it.
I've also discovered you can buy Mackmyra and other High Coast whiskies elsewhere in the US, but I haven't seen them around here and my state doesn't allow alcohol to be shipped from other states.
Ohhh color me interested.
Ireland feeling very singled out given Scotland isn't in the EU
Europe is not just the EU. All products from all countries are welcome (except Russia and Belarus).
