TBWC Helsinki Distilling Company 6YO 500mL

Elegant, Nordic, and full of character, the Helsinki Distilling Company 6 Year Old from That Boutique-y Whisky Company showcases the bold spirit and precision of Finland’s whisky renaissance. With six years of aging in the cool Nordic climate, this single malt displays impressive depth, natural vibrancy, and a distinctively Finnish sense of balance. On the nose, it opens with aromas of baked apples, fresh vanilla pods, and sweet rye bread, followed by hints of honeyed oak, lingonberry jam, and soft herbal spice. There’s a cooling freshness in the background — reminiscent of forest pine and crisp air. The palate is well-structured and silky, delivering flavours of caramelised pear, almond cream, and lemon peel, layered with touches of toffee, light anise, and a subtle herbal dryness. There’s a faint echo of spicebox warmth — think white pepper and ginger snap — that complements the malt sweetness beautifully. The finish is clean and medium-long, with lingering notes of vanilla oak, apple skin, and a gentle resinous edge, evoking Nordic woods and calm.
