Kyro - Game of Thrones - Whisky of Fire - 46.6%
Kyrö Game of Thrones Whisky of Fire is a limited 2026 edition that combines the legendary universe of Game of Thrones with the immediately recognizable style of the Finnish distillery Kyrö. Located in Isokyrö, Finland, the house has established itself through its bold work with rye, a grain deeply linked to Nordic identity. This cuvée is part of the official Game of Thrones x Kyrö collaboration, designed around two complementary expressions inspired by the Targaryen heritage. Whisky of Fire embodies the most intense, smoky, and flamboyant facet of this collector's series. The name naturally evokes the fire of dragons, power, warmth, and raw energy, while maintaining the modern precision of the Kyrö style. Its limited edition packaging makes it a particularly attractive bottle for collectors as well as fans of original whiskies. It is a rare, expressive whisky perfectly in tune with the times, capable of uniting storytelling, Nordic identity, and true tasting ambition.
The Whisky of Fire cuvée is made from 100% malted rye, with a smoked portion that gives the whisky its distinctive aromatic signature. Rye naturally brings tension, spices, a cereal structure, and a drier depth than many barley whiskies. The smoke, resulting from work on the malt, adds a darker, more mineral, and more dramatic dimension, perfectly consistent with the cuvée's imagery. The aging combines ex-Bourbon barrels, new American oak, and old rum barrels, creating a balance between vanilla, woody sweetness, spices, and exotic roundness. The finish in rum barrels adds extra warmth, a more indulgent touch, and a slightly sweet sensation that responds to the smoke. Bottled at 46.6%, the whisky retains a beautiful intensity without becoming aggressive. This construction gives a Finnish rye whisky that is both powerful, smoky, spicy, and very unique.
In the glass, Kyrö Game of Thrones Whisky of Fire reveals an intense aromatic profile, marked by smoke, toasted rye, and spiced apple. The nose evokes grilled cereals, soft embers, warm spices, and a fruity touch that brings balance. The palate is deeper, with complex smoke, mineral notes, soft cereals, blackberry, and a slight menthol breath. Rye gives nervousness and relief, while the rum barrels round off the whole with subtle warmth. The finish is long, smoky, both sweet and dry, with a very pleasant spicy persistence. This whisky is ideally enjoyed neat, in a tulip glass, after a few minutes of aeration to let the smoke and rye notes balance. It pairs very well with smoked dark chocolate, a blackberry dessert, a spiced apple tart, grilled meat, a mild cigar, or a tasting moment around a collector's bottle.
