Stauning Whisky

Nine friends from Jutland tasted a Scotch single malt on a weekend trip in 2005 and wondered why nobody made whisky in Denmark. Twenty years later, Stauning is proof they were right, a whisky built from scratch with Danish barley, Danish peat, and their own hands on every part of the process.
  • Stauning Navy Gin Danish Dry Gin Small Batch Denmark 70 cl 57,3%
    Item no.: 222266-96566

    Stauning sits where the Skjern River runs into Ringkøbing Fjord, and the fjord opens further out towards the North Sea - a small fishing town on Denmark's west coast, long before anyone here ever thought about whisky. With the Navy Strength version of their gin, Stauning brings that maritime heritage back into the light, cranked all the way up to 57.3%.

    Expert's Description

    Stauning Navy Strength Gin is a Danish Navy Strength Gin, distilled at Stauning in Western Jutland and bottled at 57.3%.

    The recipe is identical to the award-winning Stauning Danish Dry Gin at 43% - the same juniper, coriander seed, angelica root, orris root, liquorice root and lemon peel, plus pine shoots harvested locally around the distillery. The botanicals steep in alcohol for 24 hours before the whole batch is distilled together in a single heart cut using the one-shot method: only the middle of the run - the heart - makes it into the bottle, while the heads and tails are discarded.

    The difference comes down to how much water is added afterwards. At 57.3% there is simply less water and more of the actual distillate in the glass, and it shows: the gin turns more aromatic, the botanicals stand out more clearly, the finish lasts longer, and the texture feels fuller than the 43% version.

    Tasting Notes

    Nose

    Juniper and citrus arrive first, followed by a mild spice and light herbal notes. Behind it sits a faint hint of pine from the West Jutland pine shoots.

    Palate

    Clean and full-bodied, with juniper and citrus up front. The mild spice and herbal character follow close behind, and a light touch of pine carries the juniper all the way through.

    Finish

    Soft, round and well balanced - surprisingly easy-going for something bottled at a full 57.3%.

    Did You Know?

    Navy Strength refers to a strength of 57% or above. Before alcohol content could be measured precisely, sailors would soak gunpowder in the spirit and try to light it - if the gunpowder still caught, the spirit was "proof", above that threshold. The name Navy Strength is said to come from gunpowder staying usable even after an unlucky barrel leak in a ship's hold.

  • Stauning Rye Maple Syrup Cask Studio Series Danish Whisky 70 cl 53,5%
    Item no.: 0557-5589633

    On Denmark's windswept west coast, where the North Sea weather rolls straight in, there's a distillery that once had the idea of resting its rye whisky in casks that used to hold maple syrup from Vermont. Back then it was pure curiosity. Today it's one of the most talked-about Danish whiskies ever made.

    Expert's Description

    Stauning R.Y.E. Maple Syrup Cask Studio Series is a Danish Rye Whisky matured in new American oak casks and finished in Maple Syrup casks from Vermont, bottled at 53.5%.

    The story starts with a single cask, No. 517, which Stauning experimented with a few years back. It turned out to be one of the most awarded Danish whiskies ever, winning the World's Best Single Cask Single Rye category at the World Whiskies Awards 2023. That exact cask sold out fast, and demand for another shot at the same combination never really stopped. With the Studio Series release, Stauning gets as close to the original as it can, even if it isn't the same bottle.

    The grain is Danish rye and barley from local farms, floor-malted and kiln-dried at the distillery, using the same approach the distillery's nine founders started out with. The whisky is double distilled in Stauning's 24 small pot stills, heated by direct fire, an old-fashioned, labour-heavy method most other distilleries don't bother with anymore. From there, the spirit first rests in new, heavily charred American oak casks before moving into casks that once held maple syrup from Vermont. Those last casks are what really leave their mark: a rich sweetness, warm spices like vanilla and cinnamon, and a touch of liquorice and charred wood layered over the rye's natural spiciness. The release is limited to 2,500 bottles from 10 casks.

    Tasting Notes

    Nose

    Warm spice meets dried fruit right away, cinnamon and vanilla from the maple syrup casks, with ripe raisin and a hint of fresh rye bread somewhere behind it.

    Palate

    Caramelised apple and ripe plum arrive first, followed by toasted oak. The sweetness is velvety and kept in check throughout by the rye's spicy, almost peppery edge.

    Finish

    Long and gently warming, with a fruity finish and a mouthfeel that feels softer than you'd expect at 53.5%.

    Investment Potential

    Medium. The combination of rye and maple syrup casks has already won both World's Best Single Cask Single Rye and, the following year, Best Danish Rye at the World Whiskies Awards, and with only 2,500 bottles in this release, Stauning's limited releases tend to become sought-after among collectors of Danish whisky.

    Did You Know?

    The same combination of rye whisky and maple syrup casks went on to win Best Danish Rye at the World Whiskies Awards the following year, in 2024, so it clearly wasn't just one lucky cask.

    Some whiskies try to say everything at once. And then there is Stauning Rye – a whisky that just is what it is. Rye. West Jutland. Floor-malted on their own lofts. Matured until it is ready.

    Expert description

    Stauning Rye Floor Malted is a Danish Rye Whisky bottled at 48%. Stauning Whisky was founded in 2005 by nine friends in Skjern, West Jutland. Rye is the distillery's original expression and flagship from the very beginning. Made from locally grown rye and floor-malted barley – all malted on their own lofts. "Floor Malted" in the name is not a marketing gimmick: it is a genuine description of a technique they use every single day. Matured in ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Fresh and spiced rye, light honey and a hint of blossom. Bread and soft vanilla. Not heavy, but with substance.

    Palate

    Spiced and direct. Rye grain and pepper, followed by sweet maltiness and light caramel. A trace of dried fruit from the sherry casks.

    Finish

    Medium length and spiced. The rye spice persists, followed by a clean, gentle sweetness.

    Stauning Rye was one of the first modern rye whiskies in Europe. When the nine founders distilled for the first time in 2006, European rye whisky was virtually non-existent – primarily a North American and Canadian phenomenon. Stauning helped change that.

    Item no.: 05955-84412

    There's a quiet stubbornness to Denmark's west coast – wind, rye and salt air, and a small distillery that decided twenty years ago to make Danish whisky without asking anyone's permission first. This miniature gift set is the fastest way to understand why Stauning still gets talked about in that company.

    The Expert's Description

    Stauning Miniature Gift Set Høst R.Y.E. RØG is a tasting set with three Danish whiskies from Stauning Whisky in West Jutland, each bottled in 5 cl miniatures.

    Stauning was founded in 2005 by nine friends with no whisky-making experience whatsoever, but plenty of stubbornness. Since then it's grown into Denmark's best-known whisky distillery, still the only one in the country to floor-malt its own rye and barley and distil on traditional copper pot stills built in the Scottish tradition. The grain is grown locally within a bicycle-ride of the distillery by Ringkøbing Fjord, and every step, from field to bottle, happens under one roof.

    The three whiskies in this box each show a different side of Stauning. Høst is the house's soft and approachable double malt, R.Y.E. is the distillery's signature product and the very foundation of the range, and RØG is the newest addition to the core lineup – a smoked double malt that brings peat and heather into the glass. Together they make for a quick, hands-on introduction to what Danish whisky can be.

    Tasting Notes

    Høst

    Soft and fruity, with ripe peach, caramel and dark berries, rounded off by a touch of port wine and light floral notes from maturation in American oak with port casks.

    R.Y.E.

    Spiced and full-bodied, with freshly baked rye bread, dark fruit and toasted oak, unfolding into a long, sweetish finish from ageing in new American oak.

    RØG

    Smoky and earthy, where peat and heather sit over dried fruit and dark chocolate, carried by the malted rye that gives the whisky its depth.

    Item no.: 0557-88-35589

    In the old malt lofts in Skjern, the maltsters still turn the grain by hand. That same rye, grown in West Jutland's fields, ends up here – matured in Pedro Ximénez sherry casks into a whisky that is a little sweeter than most. But never soft.

    Expert description

    Stauning Rye PX Sherry Oak is a Danish Rye Whisky matured in Pedro Ximénez sherry casks and bottled at 46%. Stauning Whisky was founded in 2005 by nine friends in Skjern, West Jutland, and is today one of Denmark's most acclaimed distilleries. Rye PX combines the character of floor-malted, locally grown rye with the intense sweetness of PX sherry casks. Pedro Ximénez is the sweetest sherry style, made from sun-dried grapes, leaving a rich, dark, fruit-forward impression in the whisky.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Sweet, caramelised raisins open the nose, followed by dark figs and soft honey spice. Underneath, rye spice adds pepper and a hint of baked grain.

    Palate

    Round and sweet with spiced rye pushing through. Dried cherries, dark syrup and a touch of dark chocolate. The sherry is clear but lets the rye speak.

    Finish

    Long and warm. Slightly bitter cocoa and persistent rye spice carry through to the end.

    Item no.: 0597757-88-3332

    West Jutland does not smell of iodine and hospital. It smells of smoke from the malt lofts, of dune pines and sea air. That is what Stauning set out to capture when they lit the peat and made RØG – a Danish smoked whisky with a voice of its own.

    Expert description

    Stauning RØG Smoked Double Malt is a Danish Whisky bottled at 43%, made from a blend of floor-malted, peated barley and unpeated malt. Stauning Whisky was founded in 2005 in Skjern, West Jutland. RØG is the distillery's take on smoked whisky – not an imitation of heavy, medicinal Islay profiles, but a lighter, fruitier smoke style rooted in West Jutland terroir. Matured in a combination of 1st fill bourbon and sherry casks.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Soft, fruity smoke with green apple and vanilla cream. The smoke is present but restrained – it does not impose itself.

    Palate

    Light and fruity with smoke as a constant supporting note. Pear, soft toffee and a hint of citrus peel. More sweet than sharp.

    Finish

    Medium length with gentle smoke and lingering sweetness. Clean and inviting.

    Expert description

    Stauning Smoked Rye Porter Beer Cask is a Danish Rye Whisky finished in porter casks and bottled at 51.4% without chill filtration. The base is Stauning's smoked rye whisky – made from peated, floor-malted rye – which has then rested in porter casks, absorbing the dark, malty tones from the beer. The result is a complex expression bridging two Danish craft traditions.

    The porter casks add chocolate, coffee and maltiness to the rye's naturally spiced and smoky base.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Smoke and malted rye meet dark chocolate and coffee from the porter cask. Warm spices and a hint of liquorice in the background.

    Palate

    Full and complex. Smoked rye, malted barley, espresso and dark berries. The 51.4% gives excellent structure.

    Nine friends from Jutland founded Stauning Whisky in 2005 on the rugged west coast at Skjern - Denmark's oldest whisky distillery. Two decades later, the distillery has moved into gin for the first time.

    Expert's description

    Stauning Danish Dry Gin is a Danish gin spiced with locally harvested pine shoots and bottled at 43%.

    The gin comes from Stauning Whisky, which since 2005 has distilled whisky from local grain, floor-malted in-house and distilled in 24 small, direct-fired copper pot stills. With Danish Dry Gin, the distillery has for the first time moved beyond whisky and into gin, carrying the same craft traditions with it.

    The juniper base is joined by pine shoots harvested in the nature around the distillery, giving the gin a distinctly Nordic, resinous character, while lemon peel and a touch of spice keep it balanced.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Fresh pine needle and juniper meet a lightly citrus aroma.

    Palate

    The palate opens with piney juniper, before the pine shoots add a resinous, lightly spiced layer.

    West Jutland smoke in a new guise. Stauning Smoke Design Edition is the iconic smoked expression in a special edition that turns the bottle into both a dram and a decoration.

    Expert description

    Stauning Smoke Design Edition is a Danish Whisky bottled at 47%, made from floor-malted smoked barley. Stauning Smoke is one of the distillery's core expressions, known for its gentle, fresh smoke from barley peated with heather and oak chips – a very different approach from the heavily peated Islay style. The Design Edition features a special artistic bottle design.

    Smoke and RØG are both smoked expressions from Stauning, but RØG uses peated rye while Smoke uses peated barley – two very different characters.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Gentle, fresh smoke with citrus, green fruits and a hint of vanilla. Heather-inflected smoke rather than heavy peat.

    Item no.: 22227865479-1106-197280006

    The Research Series takes rye on another adventure. Stauning El Clásico – rye whisky finished in vermouth casks – is botanical, floral and difficult to categorise.

    Expert description

    Stauning El Clásico 2022 Vermouth Finish is a Danish Rye Whisky finished in vermouth casks and bottled at 45.7% without chill filtration. The expression is part of the Research Series and was made by finishing Stauning's rye whisky in vermouth casks. Vermouth is an aromatised wine with botanical ingredients – herbs, flowers and spices – and the casks add a dry, floral dimension to the rye's natural spiciness.

    El Clásico references the classic encounter – grain meets wine – and the result is a whisky unlike any other in Stauning's range.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Botanical and fresh. Dry herbs, light florals and citrus from the vermouth with the rye's natural spiced grain in the background.

    Palate

    Light and elegant. The rye's spiciness meets botanical notes – anise, citrus and mild herbs – with a dry sweetness and florality from the vermouth.

    Vermouth is typically associated with cocktails like the Martini and Negroni. Stauning inverts the convention – instead of vermouth going into the glass, it goes into the cask, giving the rye whisky a botanical dimension you'd normally only find in a cocktail.

    Some whiskies try to say everything at once. And then there is Stauning Rye – a whisky that just is what it is. Rye. West Jutland. Floor-malted on their own lofts. Matured until it is ready.

    Expert description

    Stauning Rye Floor Malted is a Danish Rye Whisky bottled at 48%. Stauning Whisky was founded in 2005 by nine friends in Skjern, West Jutland. Rye is the distillery's original expression and flagship from the very beginning. Made from locally grown rye and floor-malted barley – all malted on their own lofts. "Floor Malted" in the name is not a marketing gimmick: it is a genuine description of a technique they use every single day. Matured in ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Fresh and spiced rye, light honey and a hint of blossom. Bread and soft vanilla. Not heavy, but with substance.

    Palate

    Spiced and direct. Rye grain and pepper, followed by sweet maltiness and light caramel. A trace of dried fruit from the sherry casks.

    Floor malting is not just a technique – it is a philosophy. Stauning Smoke Floor Malted is smoked West Jutland whisky built on the foundations of tradition.

    Expert description

    Stauning Smoke Floor Malted Smoked Barley is a Danish Whisky bottled at 47%, made from floor-malted smoked barley. Stauning floor-malts its own grain – a traditional and labour-intensive method abandoned by most modern distilleries – and peats the barley with heather and oak chips from the West Jutland heathlands. The result is a gentle, fresh smoke with a clear connection to the West Jutland landscape.

    The Floor Malted expression highlights the role of floor malting and the resulting depth it brings to the grain.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Gentle, fresh smoke with fruity notes of yellow apple and pear. A green, herbal hint from the heather and light vanilla from the oak.

    Palate

    Clean and fresh. Heather smoke, yellow fruits and light vanilla in a balanced expression. Approachable without lacking character.

    Finish

    Floor malting requires far more space and labour than industrial malting. Stauning is one of very few distilleries in the world to floor-malt 100% of their grain – a commitment that costs more but delivers a character you cannot replicate industrially.

    Stauning takes rye whisky to Mexico. Bastard Mezcal Finish is a Research Series edition that combines the spice of Danish rye malt with the smoky, earthy character of mezcal casks.

    Expert description

    Stauning Bastard Mezcal Finish Research Series is a Danish Rye Whisky bottled at 46.3% in a 70 cl bottle. The whisky has been finished in mezcal casks – the cask type from the Mexican agave spirit – and is part of Stauning's Research Series, which is the distillery's laboratory for unconventional flavour profiles.

    Bastard is Stauning's first expression for cask finishes outside the traditional Scotch and American cask register. The mezcal cask adds a smoky, earthy and slightly floral Mexican dimension to the spiced Jutland foundation of the rye. The result is unusual and memorable.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Citrus and sweet tobacco mixed with mild mezcal smoke and wild flowers. Complex and different.

    Palate

    Soft and sweetly satisfying with rye spice and burnt caramel. The earthy note of the mezcal cask shines through.

    Expert description

    Stauning Kaos Triple Malt is a Danish Triple Malt Whisky bottled at 46%. Stauning Whisky was founded in 2005 by nine friends in Skjern, West Jutland.

Matured in a combination of ex-bourbon and sherry casks.

    Fresh fruit and a discreet smoke undertone. A little honey, light bread and a hint of cinnamon. The rye contributes a fine pepper spice in the background.

    Palate

    What happens when peat smoke meets port wine at a distillery on the Jutland heath? Stauning Port Smoke Cask Strength 2015/2019 is the answer.

    Expert description

    Stauning Port Smoke Cask Strength 2015/2019 is a Danish Single Malt Whisky distilled in 2015 and bottled in 2019 at cask strength 61.9%. The malt is peated and the whisky was finished in port wine casks, which add a dark fruitiness that blends with the smoke. The bottling is part of Stauning's Cask Strength series – undiluted and non-chill filtered.

    Stauning Whisky was founded in 2005 in Skjern and works with Danish grain, floor malting and copper pot distillation. Port Smoke is one of the more experimental releases, showing what happens when the distillery's smoky signature meets the sweetness and depth of port wine. The result has two clearly identifiable layers.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Smoke and dark fruits open together – prunes, blackcurrant and a slightly spiced, almost winey undercurrent.

    Palate

    Full-bodied smoke with clear port wine sweetness. Dried fruit, chocolate and a light resinous note. The 61.9% cask strength adds real heat.

    Six years in cask. Peated single malt at cask strength 60.8%. ROMMER is Whisky.dk's Private Cask from Stauning – one barrel, bottled in 2017, impossible to replicate.

    Expert description

    Stauning Private Cask ROMMER Whisky.dk 6 Year 2010/2017 is a Danish Peated Single Malt Whisky bottled at cask strength 60.8%. ROMMER is the name given to this specific Private Cask, owned and matured by Whisky.dk for six years from 2010 to 2017. The peated style draws on Stauning's West Jutland peat, delivering a green and herbal smoke character. Six years brings more integration and depth than younger releases – the smoke is well-integrated with oak sweetness and a complexity that shorter maturations rarely achieve. At 60.8%, this is a powerful, undiluted version of Stauning's peated style.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Well-integrated smoke with a light herbal edge. Vanilla, gentle citrus and oak sweetness grow beneath the smoke.

    Palate

    Powerful and complex. Smoke, spices and a sweetness of vanilla and light caramel. Citrus fruit and pepper spice lurk in the background.

    Finish

    Long and warming with smoke and oak persisting. A trace of salt at the very end.

    Did you know?

    Stauning's peated single malt is smoked with peat from West Jutland bogs, not Scottish peat. This gives a more green and herbal smoke profile rather than the iodine-driven character associated with Islay whiskies.

  • Bottle of Stauning Private Cask Whisky.dk 5 Year Malted Rye Whisky
    Item no.: 22227865400-8450

    A Private Cask is one cask, one decision and one chance. Whisky.dk chose malted rye whisky from Stauning – and five years later this came out of the barrel at cask strength 57.5%.

    Expert description

    Stauning Private Cask Whisky.dk 5 Year 2011/2017 is a Danish Malted Rye Whisky bottled at cask strength 57.5%. This Private Cask was commissioned and owned by Whisky.dk – a single cask from Stauning's distillery, selected, matured and bottled exclusively for our shelves. Malted rye differs from Stauning's standard rye by using 100% malted rye grain, resulting in a softer, sweeter and more complex profile with rye's characteristic spiced fruitiness. Distilled in 2011 and bottled five years later in 2017, this is a unique bottle that cannot be replicated.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Spiced rye, green fruit and vanilla. A hint of cardamom and honey beneath the characteristic rye edge.

    Palate

    Full-bodied and spiced with rye bread, gentle sweetness and dark fruit. Pepper notes arrive mid-palate and persist.

    Finish

    Medium to long with dry rye spices and a warm finish. Clear, clean rye character throughout.

    Item no.: 22227865400-2018

    Stauning Rye 2018 is the 17th edition of Stauning's malted rye whisky – a series that has grown from ambitious experiments to one of the most acclaimed rye expressions in Europe.

    Expert description

    Stauning Rye 2018 November is a Danish Rye Whisky bottled at 50% and distilled in 2015. Released November 2018 as the 17th edition in the Rye series. The whisky is made from 100% Danish rye malt, floor-malted in-house at Stauning and distilled in copper pot stills. 4,800 bottles produced. Non-chill filtered with natural colour.

    Stauning Rye represents the best from the Jutland rye fields. With a spicy and fruity profile – and no smoke – it is a markedly different expression from Stauning's SMOKE and KAOS series. The November 2018 edition is characterised by rye at its most complex.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Spiced rye with dried fruit, orange peel and a touch of ginger. A malt-rich depth with hints of vanilla and nut.

    Palate

    Full and spicy. Rye bread, dark fruit and light pepper. Good structure without being heavy.

    Finish

    Long and warm with spice and dried fruit that lingers.

  • Bottle of Stauning 1st Edition Traditional first ever Stauning whisky 2012
    Item no.: B22227865400-10

    It started with seven amateurs in a slaughterhouse building. On 30 June 2012 Stauning released its first whisky – and this bottle is one of the 728 examples.

    Expert description

    Stauning 1st Edition Traditional 2009/2012 is a Danish Single Malt Whisky bottled at 63.3% and matured for 3 years. Distilled in 2009 and released on 30 June 2012. Only 728 bottles. It is the very first Stauning whisky ever released to the market – a historic bottle in Danish whisky history.

    Stauning Whisky opened in 2005 in an old slaughterhouse building in Skjern, and the early years were marked by passion, experimentation and almost no resources. 1st Edition is an expression of all that: raw, powerful and with a historical significance that transcends any tasting note.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Powerful and complex. Malt, dried fruit, honey and a touch of oak. The 63.3% is present but approachable with a little water.

    Palate

    Intense malt and fruit notes with oak spice and a warm, full-bodied core. Strong but well-balanced for its ABV.

    Finish

    Long and warm with malt sweetness and warmth that lingers. A historic finish.

    High. The very first release from Stauning with only 728 bottles is a unique historical artefact in Danish whisky history. It will never be re-released.

    Did you know?

    Stauning 1st Edition was distilled on equipment that was far from professional – seven whisky enthusiasts used an old slaughterhouse building and homemade stills. This gives the bottle an authenticity that cannot be bought today.

About Stauning Whisky

Stauning is Denmark's best-known whisky distillery and still the only one that malts its own Danish barley and distils on traditional copper pot stills modelled on Scottish practice. That gives a whisky with a clear handcrafted identity, where every step, from grain field to bottle, happens under one roof in West Jutland. For beginners, Stauning is a surprising and accessible entry into Danish spirits history, while the seasoned collector appreciates how the distillery insists on following the old Scottish principles without compromise, even after growing far beyond the nine friends' original hobby project.

History & background

The story starts in May 2005, when nine friends on a Danish weekend trip enjoyed a glass of Scotch single malt and began wondering why nobody made whisky at home. The climate, the barley and the water were all there. After several years with self-built equipment and meetings with the authorities, the group distilled for the first time on the night between Friday and Saturday in August 2006. A decisive turning point came in 2006, when whisky writer Jim Murray tasted their peated test batch and compared it to 1970s Ardbeg, prompting the friends to scale up their plans significantly. In November 2007 they bought a farm near Stauning, and by 2009 the first malted barley was ready for distillation.

Production & style

Stauning floor-malts its own Danish barley, uses Danish-cut peat for the smoky style, and distils on two copper pot stills, a wash still and a spirit still, faithfully modelled on classic Scottish technique. Both a classic Single Malt Whisky and a rye-based Rye Whiskey feature in the range, both matured across a mix of cask types in the Jutland climate.

Signature style

Smoky, Grain-forward, Handcrafted
Expect distinct peat smoke balanced by the characteristic sweetness of Danish malted barley, and a lightly spiced finish in the rye expression.

Did you know?

Stauning's wash still and spirit still were custom-built in Spain and shipped to Denmark, simply because there's no off-the-shelf option when it comes to Danish copper pot stills.
