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])

Improved to Good Article status by Manelolo (talk). Self-nominated at 10:18, 31 January 2018 (UTC).

Article/sources look good, promoted to GA on 31 January. Manelolo, 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)

• Article is new enough (GA Jan 31, 2018; nominated for DYK on Jan 31, 2018), long enough (4417 characters readable prose), and within policy (neutral, verifiable, not copyvio – Earwig's tool shows 32% to [4], but I am fairly certain that that's a reverse copy, since it'd be extremely unusual for an Amazon listing to name details about the incorporation of the product brand, etc.). ALT2 (which I prefer) and ALT1 are approved as short enough and interesting. Image is free and has no other issues. Nominator has two DYK credits and so QPQ is waived. Good to go on hook ALT2 (preferred) or ALT1. Kevin (aka L235 · t · c) 04:49, 25 February 2018 (UTC)
