Kyrö Dark Gin (50cl, 42.6%)

Kyrö Dark Gin is a cask-aged gin from Finland, bottled at 42.6% ABV in a 500ml bottle. It combines Finnish wholegrain rye with 17 spices and botanicals, then matures for ten months in new American white oak casks. Freshly distilled orange peel and black pepper are added afterwards. Rye spice meets local herbs and vanilla notes from the oak, with orange, pepper and wood complementing the juniper base. The nose combines oak and orange with a hint of summer meadow. The palate has honey and sweet orange with pepper, vanilla and oak, plus fine floral notes. The finish lets pepper and honey linger.
