Kyrö Wood Smoke Malt Rye

Very light campfire smoke. Tastes of honey, wet smoked wood, bread dough, and lemon furniture polish. Very unique flavors masque the young whiskey. Not sure if I would buy it again but am glad I tried it.

Gently smokey, oak, honey, rye and bit charred. Similar to american bourbons.

Didn't expect to see this here. Nose - Up front it's youthful wood, very raw with some level of winter green mint, and as I dig in the caramel malt richness comes out. OK...kinda rye bourbon like. That's a lot of wood. The malt is here too, it's sweeter and richer and heavier than an american rye non malt. Oh anis notes. ok fine vanilla and some bacon. Some pure sugar notes. Taste - Cherry, chewy oak, smoked anis, funky oak. Finish is long smoky notes. This just screams small barrel oak, funky young notes...but so well done. Final thoughts - water doesn't change much, but don't do it. Anyway, think texas whisky but softer. I'll give it a 2.0. It's weird, it's different, but it's pretty average whisky. This is like 50 bucks, and it's unique. I'd say it's worth it, but there's a lot of "worth it" things to try.
