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

Tasting Note:

The spirit has been matured in a First Fill American Bourbon Barrel and finished in a Sweet Rivesaltes Cask adding notes honey, cherries, and chocolate to the whisky. No chill-filtering and no colour added - simply the unique character and flavour profile of the spirit and the individual cask. The result is anything but simple.
