AboutStauning Whisky
Nine friends founded Stauning on Denmark’s west coast in 2005. The distillery uses rye and barley grown nearby, handling production on site from grain to finished whisky.
The grain is floor malted, and 24 small copper pot stills are heated by direct fire. Its Rye whisky is distilled twice and aged in new American white-oak barrels.

Fresh rye bread, vanilla and caramel open the nose, followed by red cherry and a touch of roasted coffee. The palate is robust but composed, with dark fruit, pepper and new-oak spice carried by a dense malty texture. Locally grown Danish rye and barley are floor malted, then distilled in small direct-fired pot stills, giving the whisky a distinctly grain-led character. The finish is long, warming and fruity, with pepper and toasted oak lingering. Serve neat or in a rye-forward Old Fashioned.
