Kyrö Single Cask Smoked Rye Finished in PX Cask (Master of Malt Exclusive)
A Master of Malt exclusive, this single cask expression from our Finnish friends Kyrö was made from 100% malted whole-grain rye from Finland. Following an old northern tradition, the malt is smoked under Alderwood in a 100-year-old barn near the distillery. The single cask was a second-fill Pedro Ximénez hogshead and the whisky was bottled at 47.3% ABV. Just for us!
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Warm, freshly baked raisin cake greets you immediately, with layers of dark, sticky sherry richness. There’s a deep, sweet complexity, but balanced—never cloying. Subtle waves of baked rye spice mingle with hints of rum-soaked fruits, offering a warming, nostalgic aroma. Faint traces of vanilla ice cream add a creamy backdrop to the spice.
Palate
A rich, velvety mouthfeel leads with the sweet, spiced character of dark fruits and rum-soaked raisins, carrying forward the nose's promise. The rye spice is present but refined, integrating harmoniously with caramel, vanilla, and toasted oak layers. As the whisky unfolds, candied citrus and a soft, buttery note.
Finish
The finish is long and lingering, leaving a gentle warmth with hints of dried fruit, baking spice, and just a touch of charred oak. Faint traces of rum and vanilla persist, drifting into a sweet, spiced fade.
