Stauning Rye

A liquid interpretation of freshly baked Danish rye bread. A Nordic rye whisky with dark and roasted aromas and a long fruity aftertaste.

This is a different kind of rye whisky. The combination of malted rye and barley and pot still distillation makes this a smooth, fruity and full-bodied whisky.

Tasting Notes:

Nose: Freshly-baked rye bread, wine gums and hint of pepper on the nose.

Taste: Gentle, dried fruit, ripe cherry and peppery oak on the palate, balanced by vanilla and citrus peels.

Finish: Leading to a peppery finish and long smooth, fruity and sweet finish.

Stauning Distillery

Stauning Distillery is located in the picturesque village of Stauning on the west coast of Denmark. Founded in 2005 by nine friends with a shared passion for whisky, Stauning has grown into a leading distillery in Scandinavia. Its idyllic location, surrounded by vast meadows and near the coast, adds to the unique charm and character of their whisky.

A distinctive feature of Stauning is its use of local raw materials and traditional production methods. The distillery malts its own barley and rye on traditional malting floors, which is rare in modern whisky production. They also use small, open mash tuns and heat their copper pot stills directly with an open fire, which contributes to the complex and rich flavour of their whiskies.

Stauning produces both single malt and rye whiskies, which are known for their distinct and innovative flavour profiles. The whiskies often have notes of spices, citrus fruit, a subtle sweetness and sometimes some smokiness. The combination of traditional techniques, local ingredients and a strong focus on quality makes Stauning Distillery a unique and respected name in the world of whisky.
