Kyrö Rye Gin, 50cl, 100% Wholegrain Rye, Finnish Distillery, for ConnoisseursBy Winebuyers

Kyrö Rye Gin is a modern take on the traditional spirit. Unlike most gins, which are usually made from sourced neutral alcohol, Finnish distillery Kyrö exclusively uses 100% wholegrain rye to create its spirits. The brand's original gin is made using hand-foraged local botanicals, including birch leaves, sea buckthorn, cranberries, and meadowsweet. A Kyrö G&T is best garnished with cranberries and fresh rosemary, while you could also swap vodka for Kyrö Gin to make a gin-based twist on the cranberry-flavoured Cosmopolitan. This 50cl bottle of Kyrö Rye Gin has a bright, floral nose with aromas of fresh blackberries and cooked lemon, as well as clove spice. Sea buckthorn is prominent on the palate with its notes of sour orange and ripe tropical fruit, which is offset by an earthy graininess. The finish is both juicy and peppery. Suitable for both men and women, this unisex gin is perfect for those looking to try something new.
