A daytime distiller, this bassist is a surprisingly loquacious introvert who can tell you a story or two about the history of the Isokyrö Church (built in the 14th century so there's a lot to talk about).

If this former fighter plane engineer and military professional had a choice, she would live in the 50s and never give up her flower dress and puffy hair. Sanni's dreams include a trip to Cuba and a retirement in Italy – both accompanied by wine, of course.

The distiller fondly remembers childhood lotto nights at his grandmother's house, complete with Finnish pancakes. He spends his summers at the cottage and his winters with his cat. He can also code and make music.

Geiri names Madrid as his favourite city for its good weather, food and wine, yet he still moved to Isokyrö. Officially developing new drinks and distillates, unofficially responsible for many smiles.

The bottling plant and logistics manager pulls just the right strings to ensure that all ordered products are delivered to customers on time and team members are as satisfied as possible. The Fernet-Branca coins may or may not have something to do with this. Loves Turku (a truly controversial opinion).

Everyday life is more than a Hanami picnic in Tokyo, but our bottler Kaisa can say she has experienced that. Drinks her whisky neat. Loves the Foo Fighters and going to gigs.

Gardening enthusiast who keeps packing materials strictly in order, and spices Isokyrö up with her Swedish flavour.

As a kid, this master of logistics and bottling used to drive around in a truck with her dad listening to Swedish hits. Nowadays she loves to wake up early and admits her favourite drink is milk.

This packaging & logistics helper creates in her spare time the most stunning nails you can get in Isokyrö, if not in the entire Southern Ostrobothnia.

Matti masters many skills. He can be spotted playing the piano, photographing, signing off on new packaging designs... while always forgetting to eat on time. Matti is Kyrö's one-man brand police.

Jenna has been the marketing lead for the Visitor Centre for many years. This absolute ray of sunshine is on maternity leave until the end of 2024, with Ella acting as her replacement.

The leader of his dog pack (literally, as Tonto has five dogs) also moonlights as the Visitor Centre CEO. He bakes sourdough bread in his spare time, and always manages to find his keys wherever he definitely didn't leave them.

Spent her time as a child on the baseball field, now in the kitchen of Kyrö. Keeps herself busy even when she's not working, at least by travelling virtually on Google Maps. Always thinking about food and drink.

When she's not busy hosting distillery tours, she enjoys Hogwarts spiced with magical tattoo ideas and ice cream bowls.

Susanne makes sure that everything works as it should and that there are enough people around to look after our guests. She is a dedicated cat lover, loves Asian food and dreams of a long trip to Korea.

At the visitor centre's bar, you'll find a humming Julia, who is studying to become a cultural producer. She loves all things green. In her spare time, she dreams of a cabin in the woods without neighbours.

Our resident rockstar, who is originally from Helsinki, has wandered off to Ostrobothnia to distill. When the kettle's not on, he can be found playing gigs or studying in Tampere. "Wine and music weren't highly recommended as career choices at school, but it seems to have worked out for the best," he says.

The (sometimes) happy renovator of a century-old house knows everything about everything. Jenni has been part of the Kyrö story almost from the very beginning, but today she's responsible for the HR and finance side of things.

This multi-talent handles financial management and logistics with incredible efficiency. She wishes she had a few more hours in the day, as there are still 1001 things Olga would like to learn or do. Free time is spent with the kids, knitting or pole dancing. The dream is to have a house with a big yard and a garden.
