Situated in a remote village on the West Coast of Denmark is Stauning Whisky Distillery. Founded by nine friends from various backgrounds in 2005, the vision was to create a 100% Danish whisky, one which reflected the place and could stand comparison to the finest from around the world. The first commercial bottles were released in 2011.
Described as a liquid interpretation of freshly baked Danish rye bread, Stauning Rye is 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. Matured for 3 to 4 years in new American oak barrels, made from local rye and barley, 100% floor-malted at the distillery.
The result is a smooth, full-bodied whisky with a distinctive, robust character, featuring notes of vanilla, caramel, and ripe cherries, reflecting over 2000 years of rye cultivation on the west coast of Denmark.
Official Tasting Notes
Freshly-baked rye bread, wine gums and hint of pepper on the nose. Gentle, dried fruit, ripe cherry and peppery oak on the palate. Balanced by vanilla and citrus peels, leading to a peppery finish and long smooth, fruity and sweet finish.

Tasting Rating Guide
1: Light, good for beginners - an aperitif on a summers day, i.e. Glengoyne, Auchentoshan
2: Also good for beginners but with more depth and body - a little stronger than 1, ie. Glenmorangie, Speyburn
3: A dram for everyone, a little more complex so the palate requires a little more experience, i.e. Cragganmore, Macallan
4: A stronger spirit, a big whisky with lots of character and body, excellent after dinner, i.e. Lagavulin, Laphroaig
