CAT: Finnish Rye Malt Whisky
BATCH: #2

ere’s our second batch from the Finnish distillery, Kyrö. It’s another single cask of rye malt, but this cask uses their smoked malt.
90% of the rye malt in this cask was smoked in a 100-year-old riihi barn using alder wood, then the whisky was matured in a new charred American oak barrel.
NOSE
Oily hemp rope, and canvas, brings memories of traditional wooden sailing yachts. Charred sourdough, burnt crusts, rich dark chocolate alongside charred black cherries,. Glorious!
TASTE
Nutty rye malt loaf and dark fruits. Roasted hazelnut, black cherries and dried plums. Campfire smoke with some roasted spices: coriander, cumin and some bitter chocolate.
ABOUT THE LABEL
You’ll probably recognise where we took our inspiration for our Kyrö label, as it’s a picture they’ve used a few times before. We’ve just boutiquey-fied it it a little.
The founders of Kyrö are in a rye field running towards their distillery.
