KYRö DISTILLERY

Kyrö Distillery Company was registered as Rye Rye Osakeyhtiö by Miika Lipiäinen, Mikko Koskinen, Kalle Valkonen, Miko Heinilä and Jouni Ritola on 29 August 2012 in Isokyrö, Finland. Reportedly, the idea to establish the company came to the founders while they were sitting in a sauna drinking American rye whisky; they wondered about the lack of whisky distilleries based on rye in Finland—an ingredient they considered vital to Finnish society.[2][3] The founders had no experience in the distilling industry and visited micro-distilleries and still makers around Europe to gather knowledge.[4] The distillery itself was built next to the River Kyrö in a 1908-built cheese factory which used to produce Finnish Oltermanni cheese.[5][6]
