Born in a Sauna

Rye – The Spirit of Finland

Sauna is the unlikely birthplace for Kyrö, a Finnish all-rye distillery. Fueled by a sip (or two) of ryeful inspiration, the five founding friends embarked on an adventure of a lifetime. With naked ambition and bold curiosity, we at Kyrö strive to bring people together over unconventional spirits. Kippis!

Kyrö's Choice: Vin Santo

"My favourites are the Kyrö's Choice products made in honour of Finnish Whisky Day. Unique flavours are my thing, and it's a great tradition and community idea to vote among colleagues on what goes into each bottle."

Matti - Global Brand

Kyrö Peat Smoke

"The choice is difficult, but I think my favourite is our Kyrö Peat Smoke Whisky. It's smooth but complex, comforting, yet exciting and always a delight. Sipping with this is an experience that sticks with you."

Kaisa - Distillery Operations

Dairy Cream Liquor

"As a hardcore ice cream lover, I must mention our Dairy Cream. Cream liqueur tastes great to me just chilled on its own, but especially homemade Dairy Cream ice cream topped with our Pärlans caramel sauce is truly heaven on earth."

Mikko - co-founder

Kyrö Wood Smoke

"I simply love our Wood Smoke Whisky. It’s such a unique product and an incredible enrichment to the whisky world: 100% malted rye together with alder smoke from the Riihi barn, distilled according to old Finnish tradition. To me, it’s unmatched."
