Kyrö Malt Rye Peat Smoke, 47.2%

Price: 53 Issue: Fall 2024 Reviewer: Jonny McCormick Category: World Whisky

Rye malt is smoked with Finnish freshwater peat for this expression, and there’s a proper fug of aromatic peat smoke on the nose, mingling with rye spices and dark chocolate. Warm and fruity on the palate, with sultana, prune, rye bread, honey, dried cherry, and fruit scones with strawberry jam, all under a cloud of smoke. The nutty finish is complemented by sweet milk chocolate.
