Helsinki Whiskey Rum Cask Rye Malt
Helsinki Distilling Company
Tasting Notes
This intriguing Finnish whiskey boasts a captivating blend of flavors that transport you on a journey through the Caribbean. Crafted with a harmonious marriage of 70% rye and 30% malted barley, it undergoes an initial maturation in American virgin oak barrels for a minimum of three years, imparting a toasty oak essence. The true magic unfolds as it's finished for several months in rum casks that previously held Guyanese and Jamaican rum, imbuing it with a luscious tropical allure. On the nose, toasted oak mingles with rummy tropical fruit notes and a delicate hint of juniper. The palate unveils a smooth rye spice, complemented by juicy raisins, zesty orange peel, and a subtle kiss of licorice. The finish lingers, mellow and delicately sweet, leaving you yearning for another sip of this unique Caribbean-infused gem from Helsinki's capital.
