Kyrö Wood Smoke

I’m not at all a fan of rye whiskey, but the Kyrö Wood Smoke is something different.

I like this one. The rye doesn’t hit you in quite the way it normally does. The spiciness is there, but tapers off quite gently. The whiskey is aged in ex-bourbon casks. Perhaps that has something to do with it.

Also amazing is that this whiskey comes from Finland – not one of the big names when it comes to whiskey distilleries, and so a really nice surprise.

Perhaps the Kyrö Wood Smoke will make me revisit my views on rye whiskey. Let’s see how that goes.
