KYRO Oloroso, 47.2% ABV
Kyrö Malt Oloroso is an inspirational example of the possibilities of different cask finishes. It is also a perfect example of what a versatile grain rye truly is.
The sweet sherry and Finnish rye are indeed a perfect match. The Oloroso sherry cask finish gives the whisky rich and mellow character.

Serving Suggestions
First things first, be comfortable, relaxed and free from distractions. Pour a healthy amount (15-25ml) into a nosing glass (e.g., glencairn) and let it sit for a while. We recommend a minute of resting in the glass for every year in the cask. Otherwise, let it settle down for 5-10 minutes at least.
Help yourself to a 'warm up dram' in the meantime - something simple to open up the palate. When ready, start nosing the spirit, followed by sipping it (noting how it arrives on your palate and its development), and finally the finish. Take your time to get to know the spirit, noting its expression, character, depth, complexity and flavours. These can all change with adding drops of water so play around to find different sides of the spirit and identity a personal sweet spot for yourself!
But always remember, the best way to drink it is the way you like it!
