Kyrö Malt Rye Wood Smoke, 47.2%

They smoke the malted rye with alder wood, a nod to Finnish sauna culture, and this brings damp moss, kindling fire, dry leaves, vanilla essence, and chocolate muffin to the nose. Thick-textured and creamy on the palate, with dried fruit, peppery spice, and nutty rye bread, then red apple, dark fruit syrups, rye spices, and caramelized brown sugar crust on an apple pie. Dill, red apple, and smoke on the finish.
