The idea for Kyrö, a Finnish all-rye distillery was dreamed up in a sauna, fueled by a sip of rye whisky.

Kyrö Napue Gin was selected as the best gin for G&T in 2015. Kyrö Malt rye whisky was awarded a gold medal at IWSC in 2020 and Kyrö Vodka gold in 2024. Kyrö has been on the list of Worlds Most Admired Whiskies four years in a row.
