Vinum Ex Estonia from Sori Brewing is a rye wine brewed in Tallinn that merges barleywine tradition with Estonian ingredients. At 10% ABV, this top-fermented beer incorporates wild juniper foraged from the Estonian wilderness into a complex, rye-forward grain bill. The result is a dark, full-bodied beer with minimal carbonation.

In the glass, a cola-like hue appears beneath a light brown head. The nose reveals raisins, fig, and liquorice with a boozy note. The palate delivers smooth, treacle-like sweetness with hints of soy sauce and restrained bitterness. This is a contemplative sipper that reflects Sori's uncompromising approach to brewing.
