Kyrö Oloroso Malt Rye Whisky

Once upon a time, five friends – Mikko, Jouni, Miika, Miko, and Kalle – were sipping American rye whiskey in a sauna. That’s when the idea hit them. Why was nobody making rye whisky in Finland when the country grew so much high quality rye? And so Kyrö Distillery Company was born in 2012. Their 100% malted wholegrain Finnish rye spirits have won many fans and awards since, are made with incredible attention to detail, and provide great concentration and depth of flavour both neat and in cocktails.

Since we last featured one of their double pot distilled whiskies their core range has expanded to include this Oloroso Malt Rye (initially matured in new American oak and bourbon casks, but then as the name suggests finished in oloroso sherry casks). A peated Kyrö is also now available, alongside the existing wood smoke and classic malt rye options.
