Napue rye gin by Kyrö Distillery Company

• ... that Napue rye gin (pictured), the flagship product of the Finnish Kyrö Distillery Company, was named after the Battle of Napue? Source: "A couple of centuries later the locals fought against Russia in the ill-fated Battle of Napue in 1714, where more than half of the male population was slaughtered. The team chose the name Napue Gin, after this nearby Finnish village in Ostrobothnia." ([1])
  • ALT1: ... that the Finnish Kyrö Distillery Company decided to produce gin (pictured) instead of whisky at first because of European Union regulations? Source: "But since it takes a long time to make whiskey (under European Union Law, you have to age it for at least three years to call it a single malt), they decided to first come out with a gin." ([2])
  • ALT2: ... that the Finnish Kyrö Distillery Company uses a custom typeface (pictured) based on memorial engravings of the 1714 Battle of Napue? Source: "Custom typeface called “Napue Sans” was designed from old Napue battle memorial monument engravings (right next to the distillery building), giving a true historical and local flair for the identity." ([3])

Article/sources look good, promoted to GA on 31 January. Template:U, I might use as a hook "... that Finland's Kyrö Distillery Company uses a custom typeface based on memorial engravings of the 1714 Battle of Napue?" Ed ^{[talk] [majestic titan]} 05:12, 5 February 2018 (UTC)

Thx Ed! I added it as ALT2. Manelolo (talk) 08:52, 5 February 2018 (UTC)

Per Rule H2, new reviewer needed for ALT2 (which IMO is the best hook). Yoninah (talk) 23:14, 7 February 2018 (UTC)

Reviewer should also check neutrality, copyvio/close paraphrasing, image, and any other DYK criteria that weren't covered in the original review. BlueMoonset (talk) 05:32, 21 February 2018 (UTC)
