\"napue<\/p>\n

Tried this superb gin in Finland. It’s a small-batch rye gin from the\u00a0Kyr\u00f6 Distillery Company<\/a>\u00a0in Isokyr\u00f6. This was set up by a group of five friends (Miika, Miko, Mikka, Kalle and Jouni), and originally focused on producing Finland’s first rye whisky (naturally, being Finland, they conceived the idea in a sauna). They set up a distillery in a former\u00a0cheese factory, and then once they’d had some success with whisky they set their sights on gin. And this has been tremendously well received, winning a trophy at the International Wine and Spirits Competition.<\/p>\n

This is made with 16 botanicals, including\u00a0meadowsweet, sea buckthorn, cranberries and birch leaves, giving a distinct Finnish twist. It’s brilliant stuff.<\/p>\n

Napue Gin, Finland<\/strong>
\n46.3% alcohol
\nAmazing aromatics: powerful, exotic, herbal and spicy with some green notes. Spice and juniper work nicely in tandem. This is edgy and powerful with notes of pepper, aniseed and nuts. Remarkable depth of flavour. 9\/10<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
