Kyrö Gin | 500ML

The Kyrö Distillery in Isokyrö, Finland created this well-loved gin to evoke the flavours of fresh Finnish summers – made with local rye grain and botanicals including birch leaves and meadowsweet, we'd say mission accomplished.

Kyrö Gin | 500ML Tasting Notes

Nose: A soft and succulent blend of creamy vanilla and angelica leads with help from deep, concentrated notes of juniper. An understated pink peppercorn spice sharpens orange blossom, among a herbal twinge of coriander root and cardamom seed.

Palate: The palate adds more floral and perfumed qualities, Parma Violets and a touch of rich heather, among bolder kicks of spice, which include a little cinnamon. Some marzipan icing develops with tinges of fresh lemon.

Finish: Quite short and impressively delicate.

Distillery Information

Kyrö Distillery Company was established by Miika Lipiäinen, Mikko Koskinen, Kalle Valkonen, Miko Heinilä and Jouni Ritola on 29 August 2012 in Isokyrö, Finland. The distillery itself was built next to the River Kyrö in a 1908-built cheese factory which used to produce Finnish Oltermanni cheese, and was inspired by an ingredient they considered vital in their country: rye. Reportedly they first discussed the idea after lamenting the lack of rye whisky distilleries in Finland, while sitting in a sauna and drinking American rye whisky.Napue Gin is Kyrö's flagship product, named after the 1714 Battle of Napue which was fought close to the distillery's location during the Great Northern Wa. Production began in 2014 and, as of 2017, 600,000 bottles of Napue are produced per year and exported to over 40 countries. It has received widespread recognition and acclaim since its release, winning the Gin and Tonic Trophy at the International Wine and Spirit Competition in 2015 and a gold medal in the San Francisco World Spirits Competition's premium gin series in 2016.The visual identity for the company came courtesy of Helsinki-based design agency Werklig, who actually designed a custom typeface called ‘Napue Sans’, which was inspired by memorial engravings of the Battle of Napue and is used in all of Kyrö's products and media, including its logo. This innovative step was one of many reasons why Kyrö was shortlisted for the Cannes Lions' Premium Packaging category and, in 2015, it won second place in the Spirits category of the Dieline Awards for package design.
