Kyrö Finnish Rye Whisky – Oloroso Malt, 47.2% ABV, Premium Crafted

Discover Kyrö Malt Oloroso: A masterful fusion of Finnish rye whisky and Oloroso sherry cask finishing that redefines sipping experiences. This innovative spirit showcases the remarkable adaptability of rye grain, blending its bold character with the rich depth of Spanish oak barrels previously aged with Oloroso sherry. The result is a uniquely harmonious dram where malty rye complexity meets velvety sherry sweetness—a testament to craftsmanship that elevates every sip.

On the nose, Kyrö Malt Oloroso unfolds with inviting aromas of sun-dried raisins and toasted nuts nestled alongside warm caramel and hints of freshly baked pastry dusted with cinnamon. These notes evoke the comforting essence of dark chocolate Hobnobs but with an unexpected twist of peppery spice that adds intrigue. For those seeking a whisky that balances indulgence with sophistication, this aroma profile delivers both nostalgia and novelty.

The palate deepens this duality: luscious honeyed sweetness dances alongside mocha undertones before giving way to crisp fresh rye bread—a savory contrast that creates a captivating sweet-savoury equilibrium. This layered flavor journey makes it ideal for connoisseurs who crave complexity without heaviness, whether enjoyed neat after dinner or paired with artisanal cheeses and dark chocolate desserts.

Crafted in Finland’s rugged Lapland region, Kyrö Malt Oloroso stands apart from conventional single malts through its use of local rye and extended sherry cask maturation. Unlike many whiskies that lean into one profile over another, this bottling masterfully intertwines bold spice with luxurious fruitiness for a finish that lingers longingly on the palate. Perfect for adventurous drinkers exploring rare cask-finished spirits or collectors seeking a distinctive addition to their collection, it offers exceptional value in its exploration of contrasting flavors within one bottle.
