First stop on a World Whisky Day tour of 10 countries was Finland, home to this well-regarded rye. The nose is malty, like warm crusty bread. The dominant flavor is gingerbread, with a dry finish. It’s very different from U.S. ryes, and while it’s tasty I’m not sure I’d pick it over a good MGP or Wild Turkey. Still, it’s a small, young distillery that’s worth watching and supporting.
