Five naked fins conceive the world's best gin
Five naked men sit in a Finnish sauna. The year is 2012. They are drinking a foreign rye whiskey and talking about why rye is not used to brew spirits in Finland; rye is so popular in those latitudes.
As said, so done. A few months later, the naked, sweaty men have founded the Kyrö Distillery Company. The distillery is located by the river Kyröi Isokyrö, a small village with 5000 inhabitants in the municipality of Ostrobothnia in western Finland. A peculiar place by the way; archaeologists have found skeletons in the local Leväluhta well; every spring the water turns red!

In the scenic surroundings, the happy founders found the perfect home for their rye-inspired dreams: a gorgeous old cheese factory that used to produce Oltermanni-the famous Finnish cheese typically enjoyed on a slice of good rye bread. Today, the buildings have a new connection to Finland's most beloved grain - as the world's only distillery that works exclusively with rye.
The small distillery only started making spirits in 2014, and at the start, the company is run on pure Finnish sisu, wild ambition and a completely original approach to the products. They have to taste like Finland.

And then the miracle happens... In February 2015, KyröDistillery'sNapueGini enters the prestigious International Wine and Spirit Competition (IWSC), where it participates in a blind tasting with 150 other distilleries. And wins! The brand new NapueGin simply takes the award for "Best Gin for Gin & Tonic".

And to top it off, KyröDistillery's barrel-aged gin, KoskueGin, wins gold in the same competition. That's the equivalent of two world championships in the world of wine and spirits. So now the naked Finns can walk on water; even if there is no ice on it.

It will be exciting to follow KYRÖ in the future and see if the Finns can repeat the feat when their first Rye Whisky sees the light of day in 2017.
