BRAND: KYRÖ DISTILLERY COMPANY
PRODUCT: KYRÖ WOOD SMOKE RYE
ORIGIN: FINLAND
TASTING NOTES: Kyrö Wood Smoke follows an old northern custom where the rye has been introduced to a touch of alder smoke in a 100-year-old "riihi" barn. Alder wood tends to produce aromas that are reminiscent of campfire smoke and the forest yielding a rather delicate smokiness which supports the rye flavours resulting in a balanced, complex whisky. Made in Finland using 100% malted wholegrain Finnish rye, this is unlike any rye you've experienced.

BRAND: BRUICHLADDICH
PRODUCT: PORT CHARLOTTE 10
ORIGIN: SCOTLAND (ISLAY)
TASTING NOTES: Port Charlotte 10 year old is conceived, distilled matured and bottled only on Islay. Made from 100% Scottish barley, it is trickle distilled through tall, narrow-necked stills for a balanced, heathery style of barbeque smoke. Ageing for 10 years on the shores of Loch Indaal has had a profound effect on this spirit. Like sunshine on a winters day, this Port Charlotte 10 brings clarity and lightens the mood, welcoming and brightening the future.
