Juuri means both “Origin†and it is the base to make great Rye bread. This Kyro Juuri Un-Aged Rye Spirit is made from 100% pure Finnish malted Rye. It is the new make for the first Nordic Single Malt Rye Whisky. It had some spicy Rye notes on the nose with initial dryness followed by liquorice root and a fine touch of anise on the palate.
Tasting note: Clear. Superbly expressive rye bouquet with semi-sweet scents of buttered ryvita biscuit, mustard pickle and raisin in the opening pass; brief aeration accents wholemeal bread, clove, old liquorice strap and vanilla. Creamy-yet-fresh with assertive flavours of sour dough rye, spice and raisin finishing juicy, oily, gently peppery with fresh doughy rye notes persisting at length. Outstanding. Among the very best rye spirits we’ve tasted to date. 46.3% Alc./Vol.
