Helsinki Whiskey 100% Rye Malt
Helsinki Whiskey 100% Rye Malt is a full-bodied rye malt whiskey, produced with only the highest quality Finnish rye malts. It is distilled by hand and matured in carefully selected oak casks.
Helsinki Whiskey 100% Rye Malt is the first ever rye whiskey distilled in Helsinki. Its aroma successfully balances sweetness and spiciness without losing the strong character of rye. It adheres to HDCO’s philosophy of taste: it is important that all elements are well balanced.
As a guarantee of quality every numbered bottle comes with the signature of Master Distiller Mikko Mykkänen.
Releases

Nose
Vanilla and caramel from the oak cask, malted rye and freshly baked rye loaf from the distillate. Honey and dark chocolate.
Flavor
Rich and deep mouthfeel. Aroma has notes of vanilla, dried apricots, toffee, licorice, herbs, even a hint of dark roasted coffee. A drop of water will bring out the tannins of the cask and reduce the sweetness.
Aftertaste
Long, it lingers on the insides of the cheeks. Spiciness of rye whiskey, especially white pepper, abundantly evident.
