Through the sales of hand sanitizer, the company managed to avoid layoffs, and they have continued in production.[6]       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4Table of ContentsCompany[edit]Products[edit]Kyr\u00f6 Malt Rye Whisky[edit]Kyr\u00f6 Gin (Napue)[edit]Kyr\u00f6 Dark Gin (Koskue)[edit]Dairy Cream[edit]Juuri & Smoke & Rye[edit]Kyr\u00f6 Cranberry[edit]Other Products[edit]Hand Sanitizer[edit]See also[edit]References[edit]External links[edit]Company[edit]Kyr\u00f6 Distillery Company was registered as Rye Rye Osakeyhti\u00f6 by Miika Lipi\u00e4inen, Mikko Koskinen, Kalle Valkonen, Miko Heinil\u00e4, and Jouni Ritola on 29 August 2012, in Isokyr\u00f6, Finland .[7] The idea to establish the company came to the founders while they were sitting in a sauna drinking American rye whisky [2] They wondered about the lack of whisky distilleries based on rye in Finland\u2014an ingredient they considered vital to Finnish society.[8] The founders had no experience in the distilling industry and visited micro-distilleries and still makers around Europe to gather knowledge.[9] The distillery itself was built next to the River Kyr\u00f6 in a 1908-built cheese factory which used to produce the Finnish Oltermanni cheese.[10][11]The Helsinki-based design agency Werklig created a visual identity for the company, including a custom typeface called Napue Sans based on memorial engravings of the 1714 Battle of Napue, which was fought close to the distillery’s location during the Great Northern War. The typeface is used in all of Kyr\u00f6’s products and media including its logo.[10][11][12]In 2020 Kyr\u00f6 Distillery Company GmbH was started.[13] Kyr\u00f6 operates a web shop through the German company, where products are available for purchase throughout Europe. Kyr\u00f6 distributes their products globally to around 30 countries.[14]       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4Products[edit]  New 500ml bottle of Kyr\u00f6 Gin (formerly known as Napue gin).  500ml bottle of Kyr\u00f6 Dark Gin. This used to be called Koskue.The Kyr\u00f6 Distillery distills whisky, gin, and other spirits from 100% Finnish whole-grain rye. At first, the goal was only the production of rye whisky, but the founders began the production of gin in the meantime, due to the minimum of three years that single malt whisky is to be aged under European Union regulations, thus enabling the company to generate revenue from gin while waiting for the whiskey to mature. For gin products, the rye spirit is used as a base with different herbs added to it. Due to the short summer in Finland, the staff distills individual botanical concentrates from locally foraged herbs in order to produce gin year-round.[8][9][10]Kyr\u00f6 Malt Rye Whisky[edit]Eight years after the idea of the Kyr\u00f6 Distillery was conceived in a sauna, Kyr\u00f6 released their Kyr\u00f6 Malt Rye Whisky.[15] It is 100% made of Finnish wholegrain rye. It is produced in pot stills and aged in American oak barrels between three and five years.[16] In 2020, Kyr\u00f6 Malt was awarded 98\/100 points and an outstanding medal from International Wine and Spirits Competition.[17]Kyr\u00f6 Gin (Napue)[edit]  Bottle and package of Kyr\u00f6 Malt Rye Whisky by Kyr\u00f6 Distillery. Whisky came out 17 August 2020.Kyr\u00f6 is best known for its Kyr\u00f6 Gin, formerly known as Napue. Gin and tonic made with Napue gin won the Best Gin for the Gin & Tonic category at the International Wine and Spirit Competition (IWSC) in 2015.[18][9] Following the award, Napue’s production increased from the previously planned 23,000 bottles to 100,000 bottles in 2015.[10][19]Sixteen different herbs are used to make Kyr\u00f6 Gin, including juniper, lemon peel, angelica and cardamom as well as locally foraged meadowsweet, cranberries, birch, and sea buckthorn. Four of the herbs are individually distilled and mixed in with the other twelve to ensure a consistent outcome.[8][9][20]In 2019 the name was changed from Napue to Kyr\u00f6 Gin.[21] Kyr\u00f6 Gin & Tonic remains a classic cocktail served with rosemary and cranberries.[22]Kyr\u00f6 Dark Gin (Koskue)[edit]Kyr\u00f6 Dark Gin was formerly known as Koskue. It is a rye gin that combines Finnish rye with 17 spices and botanicals, including black pepper and orange peel. The Dark Gin is aged for three months in American oak barrels.[8][20] Kyr\u00f6 Dark Gin can be mixed with apple juice and served hot or cold.[23]Dairy Cream[edit]Since the Kyr\u00f6 Distillery operates in an old dairy, they brought cream back to production with Dairy Cream cream liqueur. It is a lactose-free cream liqueur that uses locally produced cream and Finnish rye whisky.[24]Juuri & Smoke & Rye[edit]Juuri (“root”) is a new make.[25][26] Juuri means the origin and in this case, it is the origin of Kyr\u00f6 Malt, before the rye spirit comes in contact with any barrels.[27]Additionally, Kyr\u00f6 produces small-batch experiments developed by external beverage experts under the Kyr\u00f6 Study label, such as the Smoke & Rye spirit.[28]Kyr\u00f6 Cranberry[edit]Since 2016, Kyr\u00f6 has produced a craft long drink together with Finnish brewery Laitilan Wirvoitusjuomatehdas. The cranberry long drink, called Kyr\u00f6 Cranberry, uses Kyr\u00f6 Gin as its base.[29]Other Products[edit]Kyr\u00f6 has also done collaborative products with other distilleries. Teeling Distillery aged their Irish whiskey in Kyr\u00f6’s gin casks (which they use for Kyr\u00f6 Dark gin) while Kyr\u00f6 aged some of their gin in Teeling’s whiskey casks. Together with the Japanese Kyoto Distillery, Kyr\u00f6 produced a botanical exchange that celebrated the 100th year of Finnish\u2010Japanese diplomatic relations. Both distilleries used botanicals from the other to make a special batch of gin.[30]Besides the collaborative products, Kyr\u00f6 makes Pink Gin. The gin gets its flavours from strawberries, lingonberries, and rhubarb and it stands for equality.[31]Hand Sanitizer[edit]To fight the COVID-19 pandemic, Kyr\u00f6 began producing hand sanitizers in March 2020. First, their product was used by institutions critical to society (i.e. hospitals). Later on, they began selling hand sanitizer to consumers. However, the company doesn’t turn a profit on this, instead selling it for a reasonable price. Because of the hand sanitizer production and sales, the company managed to avoid layoffs.[6]In 2015, gin and tonic made with Napue rye gin was awarded Best Gin for the Gin and Tonic category in the International Wine and Spirit Competition.[18][9]In 2015, Kyr\u00f6 won second place in the Spirits category of the Dieline Awards for package design and was shortlisted for the Cannes Lions’ Premium Packaging category.[32][33][34]In 2016, Napue rye gin was given a gold medal in the San Francisco World Spirits Competition’s premium gin series.[35]In 2016, The Spirits Business magazine awarded the company with a “Master medal” in the Digital & Social Media category in its Distillery Masters competition, and gave the company gold medals in Distillery Facilities, Consumer Experience, and Distillery Innovation.[36]In 2016, Juuri unaged rye whisky won a gold medal in the Whisky category of the International Spirit Awards (IWSC).[25][26]In 2017, Koskue rye gin won a gold medal in the San Francisco World Spirit Competition.[37]In 2018 Kyr\u00f6 Dark Rye Bitter won silver and an outstanding medal in the IWSCIn 2018 Kyr\u00f6 Pale Rye Bitter won bronze in the IWSCIn 2018 Kyr\u00f6 Napue Gin won bronze in the IWSCIn 2018 Kyr\u00f6 Koskue Dark Gin won silver in the IWSCIn 2019 Dairy Cream won the highly commended design award in the IWSCIn 2019 Kyr\u00f6 Malt #6 won gold in the IWSCIn 2019 Kyr\u00f6 Koskue Dark Gin won silver in the IWSCIn 2019 Kyr\u00f6 Napue Gin won silver in the IWSCIn 2020, Kyr\u00f6 Pink Gin won bronze in the IWSCIn 2020, Kyr\u00f6 Malt won gold and an outstanding medal in the IWSCSee also[edit]References[edit]^ a b “Rye Rye Oy \u2013 Taloustiedot”.
