From Sauna Dreams to Rich Reality
Kyrö Malt Oloroso represents the ambitious journey of Kyrö Distillery's whisky from a simple dream conceived in a sauna to a sophisticated and layered expression. This rye malt whisky benefits from a unique aging process in three distinct types of barrels: new American oak, ex-bourbon, and Spanish Oloroso sherry casks. Each barrel type contributes its own character, creating a whisky that is not only complex but also a testament to the versatility of rye as a grain.
Masterful Cask Finishing
The use of Spanish Oloroso sherry casks is particularly inspirational, highlighting the distillery's innovative approach to cask finishing. These casks impart a rich and mellow character to the whisky, perfectly complementing the natural spiciness of Finnish rye. The result is a harmonious blend of sweet sherry notes with the robust flavors of rye, showcasing how international influences can enhance local traditions.
