The world's first whisky finished in a sauna, Kyrö Sauna Stories No.1 is a 100% malted rye Finnish whisky aged in new American oak and Jamaican rum (bottled by Planteray Rum) casks, which were left to mature in a sauna. The founders of the distillery conceived the idea of Kyrö in a sauna, so this is a nice full-circle moment for the brand. It's also an intriguing idea as it's a maturation climate hotter than most natural settings can achieve like the tropical setting lots of rums age in. Kyrö achieved an internal temperature of 55 degrees Celsius to age its casks, using excess steam from the distilling process to heat the bespoke barrel sauna.
