Kyrö Vin Santo barrel contract

Vin Santo "Holy Wine" is a dessert wine from Italy with a long heritage. According to legend, this wine originating from Tuscany has been used as a medicine already in the Middle Ages and also played a part in Catholic ceremonies at the time. It is made by fermenting and aging the pressed sweet juices of sun dried white wine grapes in local caratelli barrels. The end result is a gold colored sweet wine that typically has a nutty and gentle buttery flavor with notes of raisin and honey.

We managed to get a hold of some caratelli barrels and filled them with Finnish wholegrain rye distillate that had already been maturing for a little while in new oak barrels. We also filled some with smoked rye distillate.

Taste profile

In this whisky the malt and spice of the rye is combined with the round fruity sweetness of Vin Santo with notes of honey and walnuts. The ones filled with smoked rye have and extra layer of bonfire smoke. Toasted oak on the background rounds out the flavor.
