Description
Kyrö Wood Smoke Malt Rye Whisky
What started as just a dream in a sauna, became the first Finnish single-batch rye whisky made from 100% malted Finnish wholegrain rye. They admit that they didn't have any idea how to make whisky the 'right' way, so instead they did it 'their' way, and we are very happy they did.
This sauna custom has now gone on to inspire Kyrö further, with the oldest type of sauna - the smoke sauna.
To create their Wood Smoke whisky, the Kyrö distillery follow an old northern custom. They introduce the rye to Alder smoke, in a 100-year old 'riihi' barn. The Alder wood produces aromas reminiscent of campfire smoke and smoked ham. Whilst delicate, it supports the rye flavours, and results in a balanced, yet complex whisky. The whisky itself, once made, it matured in ex-bourbon, French oak and New American white oak barrels.
It gives rich aromas of vanilla, caramel, pepper and sweet smoke. These are complemented on the palate with flavours of buttery rye bread, mild honey, a delicate soft smoke and oaky spice which lingers pleasantly.
