Kyro Malt Oloroso is a core range release from the first Finnish distillery based on 100% malted Finnish wholegrain rye. It is double pot-distilled and aged in three barrel types. The first release has been in 2021.
Interesting young sherried aromas are the immediate impressions, not too deep yet coherent, with sugar cherries, sultanas, plums; in the background the rye freshness, rather untamed and not too mellow can be easily perceived, taking over rather quickly. Maybe the result is slightly young to be fully integrated, and the sugary level little too high...
The fiery character of Finland is here well represented, with a powerful rye spiciness / peppery aspects taking over since the beginning of the sip, later on increasing in sweetness and with the casks taking over... Quite a punchy experience.
Medium short, with the return of the punch of the peppery and balsamic rye, truly untamed, paired with an important sweetness. Maybe less round compared to longer age releases.
Kyro Malt Oloroso is an interesting experiment on the basis of malted rye, which for sure shows several potentialities. The sensation however is that the rye core itself may be little too young to be very successfully married with several different casks, as it contributes immediately with an intense peppery punch and brings in some lack of balance. On the other side, it does pack some punch, nice for the lovers of these experiences, but not truly classy.
