The Kyrö Game of Thrones Whisky of Blood Malted Rye Whisky is a striking collaboration between Finland's Kyrö Distillery and Warner Bros. Discovery, celebrating the world of Game of Thrones. Inspired by House Targaryen and its famous words, "Fire and Blood", this limited edition release explores the more elegant and approachable side of the pairing, contrasting with its smoky companion, Whisky of Fire. Crafted from 100% malted rye and bottled at 46% ABV, it combines Nordic whisky-making with one of television's most iconic fantasy worlds.
Matured in a combination of ex-Bourbon and French oak casks, Whisky of Blood highlights the naturally spicy character of Finnish rye while introducing layers of orchard fruit, vanilla and gentle oak. The result is a whisky that feels rich, balanced and distinctive without losing the vibrant personality that defines Kyrö's spirits.
The Story Behind Kyrö Distillery
Founded in 2012 by five friends in a Finnish sauna, Kyrö Distillery has become one of Europe's most exciting whisky producers. From the very beginning, the distillery committed itself to producing spirits made entirely from Finnish wholegrain rye, a grain that is deeply rooted in the country's agricultural heritage but notoriously challenging to distil.
Rather than following traditional Scotch whisky conventions, Kyrö has embraced its own identity, producing bold rye whiskies that have earned international recognition for their quality and originality. That spirit of independence makes the collaboration with Game of Thrones a natural fit, with both drawing inspiration from resilience, heritage and forging their own path.
If you're exploring unique world whisky or looking to discover premium rye whisky, Kyrö offers something refreshingly different.
Inspired by House Targaryen
The Kyrö Game of Thrones Whisky of Blood forms one half of a special two-bottle collection inspired by House Targaryen. While Whisky of Fire represents dragons and flame through smoked rye and rum cask finishing, Whisky of Blood focuses on legacy and bloodline, using 100% malted rye matured in ex-Bourbon and French oak casks to create a softer, fruit-forward profile.
The collectible packaging draws inspiration from the cartography and symbolism of Westeros, making it as appealing to fans of the series as it is to whisky enthusiasts. Although unmistakably modern in presentation, the whisky remains true to Kyrö's philosophy of showcasing rye in its purest and most expressive form.
