Description
The idea for Kyr Distillery Company, an all-rye distillery from Finland, was born in a classic Finnish way with a group of friends enjoying a sauna and drinking rye whisky. Wondering why there hadn’t been a Finnish rye whisky distillery despite the grain’s wide-spread popularity, they decided to take matters in their own hands. Choosing an old dairy as Kyr’s home, their beginnings were modest. The first fermentation actually took place in the head distiller’s childhood home while his parents were on vacation and the mush then needed to be transferred to a craft whisky distillery hundreds of kilometers away to undergo the first distillation.
Kyr Malt is the first Finnish single batch rye whisky, made from 100% malted Finnish wholegrain rye with only intense and spicy Finnish rye, smoothening pot distillation and bold barrels used in the production of this unique spirit. Aged through dark winters and bright summers in new American white oak casks and ex-bourbon casks, its double pot distilled. Kyr Malt is adored for its aromatic nose of vanilla, caramel and earth rye as well as its palate of sweet rye bread, honey and wild berries.Bottled at 47.2% abv.
