Kyrö Sauna Stories No.2
Whisky, but sauna-finished
Kyrö Distillery is back with its most unconventional tradition yet. Born from a sauna conversation in 2012, the Finnish distillery has spent the last decade proving that rye whisky doesn’t have to play by anyone else’s rules.
The Sauna Stories takes that philosophy literally: casks are finished in a purpose-built sauna, where heat intensifies their interaction with oak, smoothing and harmonising the whisky’s character. The result is whisky that’s bold, rye-driven, and uniquely Finnish.
Kyrö: it all started in the sauna
The story begins in 2012, when five friends sitting in a sauna with a bottle of whisky decided Finland deserved its own rye spirit. Over ten years on, Kyrö is one of the most inventive distilleries in Europe.
What the sauna means
Saunas in Finland are more than a steam and a sweat. They’re places of healing, community, and even diplomacy. Kyrö has made them part of whisky history, creating the world’s first sauna-finished whisky with the Sauna Stories.
