A rye history

The history of Kyrö Distillery started in 2012 in a Finnish sauna: Five friends talked about whisky and wondered why nobody had yet used the wonderful Finnish rye to produce whisky. They decided to take charge of it, founded the Kyrö Distillery Company, looked for the equipment and a fitting site to build a distillery. In the little town of Isokyrö the first spirit run out of the still in 2014.

Rye is the basis of their work – “In Rye we trust” is the motto of the young company. With their Napue Gin they entered the international scene, could claim much glory and international awards. Their new make “Juuri” foreshadowed the quality their whisky would show – and now this Kyrö Single Malt Rye Whisky is here.
