Crafted in Isokyrö, in the heart of Finland , Kyrö Gin is one of the flagship creations of the Kyrö Distillery Company. Located in a former dairy on the banks of the Kyrö River, the distillery has built its identity around an ingredient characteristic of the Finnish terroir: rye .
This gin is made from a base alcohol derived from 100% Finnish rye , to which no fewer than 16 botanicals are added. The recipe combines classic gin ingredients with a selection of plants and berries characteristic of Nordic nature.
Among the botanicals used are juniper, meadowsweet, birch leaves, sea buckthorn, cranberry, dill, coriander, angelica root, cardamom, caraway, cinnamon, lemon peel, iris root, hibiscus, elderflower and licorice root .
Many of these ingredients are harvested locally around the distillery, including birch leaves, meadowsweet, sea buckthorn, and cranberries. This selection gives Kyrö Gin an identity intimately linked to the Finnish landscape and flora.
The recipe was initially marketed under the name Napue Gin, a reference to the village of Napue located near the distillery. It has since evolved into the name Kyrö Gin, while retaining its character and iconic recipe.
