  • ... 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])
