Kyrö Gin

Five friends sat in a sauna drinking American rye whiskey - and wondered why Finland had no rye-based spirits tradition of its own. That is how Kyrö Distillery and Napue Gin were born.

About Napue Kyro Gin

Napue - now known as Kyrö Napue Gin - is the Finnish rye gin from Kyrö Distillery, named after the Battle of Napue, fought in the village of Napue in Isokyrö in 1714. The gin has won international acclaim, including Best Gin in the Gin & Tonic category at the International Wine and Spirit Competition in 2015.

History & background

Kyrö Distillery Company was registered in 2012 by Miika Lipiäinen, Mikko Koskinen, Kalle Valkonen, Miko Heinilä and Jouni Ritola in the town of Isokyrö, Finland. The idea came about while the founders were sitting in a sauna drinking American rye whiskey, wondering why there was no Finnish rye-based distilling tradition. In 2014, the stills at the old dairy were fired up for the first time, and the first drinks were served at a pop-up bar in Helsinki.

Production & style

The gin is made from rye and 16 different herbs and botanicals, including cranberry, sea buckthorn, spruce needles and meadowsweet - a botanical mix that draws clearly on Finnish nature and forest tradition rather than classic Mediterranean herbs.

Signature style

Spiced, Forest-like, Fresh
The flavour offers juniper and a distinct, spiced rye character, layered with a fresh note of Nordic forest and berries, setting it apart from classic London-style gins.

Kyrö Distillery uses 100% rye as the base for both its gin and whisky - a grain historically far more common in Finnish agriculture than in Scotch or American spirits production.
