Meaning Harvest in Danish, HØST is the perfect introduction to Stauning's distinctly Danish grain-to-glass approach.

HØST is deeply rooted in nature and embodies the unique house style to Stauning Whisky, where rye is elevated through careful craftsmanship to a refined characterful spirit. This whisky is crafted with a marriage of single malt and rye whisky, aged in American oak casks and a touch of Port wood. The result is a fruit- forward whisky with floral undertones, prefect for sipping, and bold enough to stand out in classic whisky cocktails.

STAUNING

Established in 2005 Stauning Whisky is the first whisky distillery in Denmark. The story of 4 engineers, a butcher, a doctor, a teacher, a helicopter pilot and a chef becoming pioneers of whisky making. The idea was to reinvent and rediscover traditional production methods. This idea became the codex that we follow to this day. Put simply, all the ingredients are sourced locally and the production is all in-house. We can proudly say that everything we do is malted, mashed, fermented, distilled, matured and bottled by Stauning Whisky.

Whisky from Stauning is recognisable and displays what simple ingredients can become when refined to the highest standards. In Stauning you can taste the grains, the purity of the water, the herbal heather and the bonfire smoke from the ancient peat. We mature our whiskies relatively short, but there is a deeper reason for this. We want to preserve the fruit-forward character of our whiskies. We use only virgin and first fill casks because we want the cask to deliver its flavour like a punch. Not dragged out over decades. We want the nature of the spirit and the nature of the cask to remain clean and clear in the whisky.

We are not here to do Scottish or Irish or American. We are here to do Stauning – and Stauning means different…good different.

“Nowhere makes a whisky like this. No-one else can.” Dave Broom
