ASCEND Kÿro

Kyrö was born from Finnish rye, an iconic grain that has become a way of life in this northern country. This 100% malted rye whisky was double distilled in the copper stills of the Kyrö distillery, located in Isokyrö in northern Finland. It captures the bold and spicy spirit of the house that has become a global icon of new-generation whiskies. This single cask whisky comes from a NEOC barrel from ASC Barrels' founding program: a French oak cask that once held a Bordeaux grand cru, whose hand-planed and then reassembled staves were carefully toasted over a wood fire. This unique technique reveals aromas of spice, wild berries, and biscuit, enhancing the depth of the rye while preserving its deliciousness. The almost fortuitous alchemy between the distillate and the barrel is in fact an unexpected encounter that has revealed a whisky of rare aromatic and flavor complexity. The first distillery to test these still-confidential casks, Kyrö has made them a cornerstone of its maturation. A whisky of grain, terroir, and shared vision; somewhere between transgressive Finland and conservative France. A perfect and complementary marriage.
