The very first That Boutique-y Rye Company bottling from the Helsinki Distilling Company is here, released as part of the Rye Series. This expression is a 2 year old Finnish rye spirit, bottled up at 49% ABV. The label features the current distillery building in Helsinki (it was the first distillery in the city in over 100 years!) in one of its former guises - a car wash! There's also a movie being shot in front of the distillery's rooftop sauna, and header distillery Mikko is getting ready for his scene (he's also an amateur actor, we'll have you know!).
Batch 1 is a release of 264 bottles.
‘That Boutique-y Whisky Company’ bottles single malts, single grains and bourbons from a variety of renowned distilleries as well as producing award-winning blended malts and blends. These whiskies are adorned with cultish graphic novel-style labels.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose Enjoyably chocolatey, though with underlying peppery hints of rye grain and red chilli flake.
Palate Still quite sherried on the palate with touches of fig and fruitcake, plus spicy clove.
Finish Hints of mulled wine and toasted cedar.
