Meanwhile gin is a bit more straightforward to produce and it brings some much needed cash flow before the whisky is ready to launch. According to the CEO of Kyrö Distillery Company Miika Lipiäinen the idea always was to produce gin in addition to whisky but the success of their Napue Gin was far beyond anything they could have hoped for. A former dairy factory in Isokyrö is home to the Kyrö Distillery. Isokyrö itself is a mysterious place. Archeologists have found ancient human remains in the local Leväluhta well which turns red every spring. Weird.

Napue (pronounced Na-pu-eh) and Koskue (Kos-ku-eh) gin hail from Finland and like all good Nordic stories, the idea for making rye whisky came to the founders while they were taking a sauna. The five friends, Kalle (master distiller), Miko, Mikko, Mikka and Jouni set out to create the best Rye Distillery in the world, their motto being “In Rye We Trust”.

The base spirit itself is distilled elsewhere, under the watchful eyes of Miika and the team, who ensure that the entirety of the rye grain is used, from the proteins to the husk material. “Rye is not there as a pronounced flavour, necessarily,” Miika says. “It’s there as a binding taste. It gives the whole spirit a more grounded and round taste. It’s the engine that makes the botanical blend hum.” Besides the collaborative products, Kyrö makes Pink Gin. The gin gets its flavours from strawberries, lingonberries, and rhubarb and it stands for equality. [31] Hand Sanitizer [ edit ]
