It is rare that many of Denmark's best micro-distilleries join forces. But the MegaBlend project is exactly that: an ambitious blend of distillates from multiple Danish producers, assembled in one expression with one goal — to show the breadth of Danish whisky in a single glass.

Expert description

Danish Whisky MegaBlend First Edition 2026 is a Danish Blended Malt Whisky at 50%. It is the first release in the MegaBlend series — a collaborative expression in which distillates from a number of Danish distilleries have been selected and blended by a master blender. Blended Malt Whisky (as opposed to Blended Scotch) contains exclusively malt distillates from multiple distilleries. The result is a snapshot of the Danish whisky scene in 2026: breadth, diversity and community in one bottle.

Tasting notes

Nose

Complex and composite. Sweet malt and oak meet fruity and lightly spiced notes from the contributions of the various distilleries. Nuanced and inviting.

Palate

Round and balanced at 50%. Classic malt base with oak and sweetness. The complexity comes from the blend of the distilleries' individual characters, integrated into a coherent expression.

Finish

Long and warm with malt, oak and light dried fruit.

Did you know?

Blended Malt Whisky is not the same as Blended Scotch — Blended Scotch can contain grain whisky, while Blended Malt Whisky is exclusively a blend of malt distillates. MegaBlend is a good example of how the Danish whisky scene has grown enough that meaningful cross-distillery blends can now be made.

Port wine at cask strength. It sounds simple. But 55.2% uncut port wine cask from Mosgaard is far from simple – it is fruity intensity, red berries and a warmth that lingers long.

Expert description

Mosgaard Port Wine Cask 2025 is an organic Danish Single Malt Whisky bottled at 55.2% from Mosgaard Distillery in Odense. The whisky is the 2025 release of Mosgaard's port wine cask series and is bottled at cask strength – no dilution, no chill filtration at this intensity. The port wine cask imparts red berries, cherries and a soft fruity sweetness, while the cask strength at 55.2% gives a warmth and intensity that opens beautifully with a drop of water. Bottled in 50 cl format.

Tasting notes

Nose

Intense fruity port wine with red berries, cherries and light florals. Warm and inviting at 55.2% – a drop of water opens further nuances on the nose.

Palate

Powerful and fruity at 55.2% with the port wine cask's red fruit and a long warmth from the organic distillate. Cherries, raspberries and light tannin from the port wine cask. Water recommended.

Finish

Long with lingering red fruit and a soft, warm close from the port wine.

Mosgaard's Port Wine Cask comes in annual releases – Port Wine Cask (the standard version at 49%) and Port Wine Cask 2025 (cask strength at 55.2%) are two separate bottlings from the same cask type. The cask strength version adds an extra dimension of raw intensity that the diluted version cannot match, while the standard version is more approachable and round.

When a Danish single farm distillery from Djursland partners with Rum Nation – one of the most well-known independent rum bottlers in the world – you get something that hits a different angle on Danish whisky. Belize rum in the cask, Sall Whisky's malt in the bottle.

Expert description

Sall Whisky x Rum Nation Belize 2025 Release is a Danish Single Malt Whisky bottled at 54.1% as the result of a collaboration between Sall Whisky from Djursland and Rum Nation, the Italian independent rum bottler. The whisky has been matured in a Belize rum cask – a cask that held rum from Belize, characterised by a fresh, tropical character with light fruity sweetness. This gives Sall Whisky's single farm malt a subtle tropical dimension. 54.1% is bottled without dilution as part of a limited collaboration series.

Tasting notes

Nose

Sall Whisky's clean Jutland single farm malt with a tropical fruity sweetness from the Belize rum cask. Light pineapple and exotic fruit over the grain base.

Palate

54.1% gives intensity. The rum cask's tropical sweetness meets the malt's grain character – an exciting and unusual interplay that is far from the typical European cask.

Finish

Medium to long with exotic fruit, light sugar and the rum cask's lingering sweetness.

Rum Nation is based in Italy and is one of the most respected independent rum bottlers in the world – but they have also released whiskies in collaboration with distilleries. The partnership with Sall Whisky is particularly interesting because it brings the tropical Belize rum character to a pure Danish organic single farm malt. It is a combination that is truly one of a kind.

Five casks. Five Pedro Ximenez. One number on each. Thornæs has chosen to bottle them individually – and Fad 066 is one of the five. An organic Danish single malt at 50% from North Zealand.

Expert description

Thornæs The 5 Pedros Fad 066 is an organic Danish Single Malt Whisky bottled at 50% from Thornæs Distillery in North Zealand. The whisky is part of The 5 Pedros series – five individual Pedro Ximenez sherry casks bottled separately, so the flavour differences from cask to cask stand clearly. Fad 066 is the individual cask with its unique imprint of PX sherry's characteristic sweetness: raisins, dark chocolate and dried fruit. It is bottled without dilution at 50% and comes from Thornæs Distillery's focus on transparency and single cask expressions.

Tasting notes

Nose

PX sherry with raisins, dark chocolate and dried fruit. The organic grain base lifts the heavy PX sweetness slightly and gives freshness.

Palate

Full-bodied PX sweetness at 50% with figs, dark plums and a warm spiciness from the oak and PX cask. The single cask character gives a unique individuality that sets it apart from batched whiskies.

Finish

Long and rich with dried fruits and a dark, chocolatey close.

Did you know?

The 5 Pedros is Thornæs Distillery's investigation of what happens when five identical Pedro Ximenez casks meet the same distillate – but are bottled separately. The idea is to show that even one cask type never delivers exactly the same result twice. Fad 066 is one of these unique stories.

Five PX casks. Five stories. Fad 064 is its own – and no cask's version is identical to another's. Thornæs Distillery from North Zealand reveals that Pedro Ximenez never says the same thing twice.

Expert description

Thornæs The 5 Pedros Fad 064 is an organic Danish Single Malt Whisky bottled at 50% from Thornæs Distillery in North Zealand. The whisky is part of The 5 Pedros series – five individual Pedro Ximenez sherry casks bottled separately to showcase the difference from cask to cask within the same cask type. Fad 064 carries its individual PX character: the intense sweetness of raisins and dark fruit combined with the freshness of the organic North Zealand distillate. Bottled without dilution at 50%.

Tasting notes

Nose

PX sherry's typical raisin and dark chocolate notes with a fresh underpinning from the organic distillate. Slightly different from Fad 066 – the sister cask.

Palate

Rich and fruity PX sweetness at 50% with figs and dried fruit. The single cask quality gives it a unique personality that belongs only to this cask.

Did you know?

The difference between Fad 064 and Fad 066 is not just a number. Even though both are PX casks from The 5 Pedros and meet the same distillate, each cask will have left its own imprint – slightly different colour, slightly different intensity, a subtle difference in fruit nuances. That is the essence of single cask whisky: each cask is an island unto itself.

Not every single cask gets a name. Sall Whisky's Founders Cask no 1 is called Kåre – named after one of the founders behind the distillery on Djursland. A personal cask at 55.1% in 50 cl.

Expert description

Sall Whisky Founders Cask no 1 Kåre is a Danish Single Malt Whisky bottled at 55.1% from Sall Whisky in Djursland, Jutland. It is the distillery's first founders cask – a single cask bottled and named after founder Kåre as a personal marker of the distillery's history. 55.1% is a high strength that gives direct and undiluted access to the cask and malt character. The bottle is 50 cl – slightly smaller than standard – and was bottled in very limited numbers.

Tasting notes

Nose

55.1% cask strength gives intensity. Sall Whisky's clean organic single farm malt is central, with the cask character clear over the grain base. Fruity and lightly spiced.

Palate

Powerful and rich at cask strength. The grain's natural sweetness and fruitiness combined with a pronounced and direct cask influence – a clear single cask expression.

Finish

Long and persistent with cask strength amplifying all flavour and aftertaste.

Naming a cask is a personal gesture from the distillery's side. Kåre is not a random name – it is the founder's name, and it says something about the ambitions behind Sall Whisky: this is not an anonymous industrial product, it is made by real people with something at stake.

Not all whisky from Ærø is single cask. Small Batch No 1 takes a different approach — a selection of casks from the 2017 distillation, vatted and reduced to 43%. The result is a more approachable entry into the Ærø universe, but with the same genuinely local ingredients and the same malt floor.

Expert description

Ærø Whisky 2017 Single Malt Small Batch No 1 is a Danish Single Malt Whisky at 43%, bottled at 50 cl. It is the first small batch expression from Ærø Whisky A/S and marks a different direction from the distillery's single cask series. Ærø Whisky produces exclusively from locally grown barley from the island of Ærø, malted on the distillery's own malt floor and double-distilled in a closed circuit. The distillation dates from 2017, and the whisky is matured in oak casks — a combination of sherry casks and new oak. The small batch method means the contents are vatted from a selection of casks, producing a more consistent and accessible style than the cask strength expressions.

Tasting notes

Nose

Mild and inviting. Vanilla and light oak from the maturation, with dried fruit and a gentle sherry note in the background. The local malt gives a fresh, slightly nutty undertone.

Palate

Round and soft at 43%. Caramel and honey with dark fruit. The oak is present as structure, not dominance. Light spice towards the end.

Finish

Medium-length and warm. Light spice and dried fruit gradually retreat.

Did you know?

Ærø Whisky is one of very few producers in the world that still malts barley on its own malt floor. It is a time-consuming and physically demanding process, but it gives the master maltster direct control over the drying degree and malt character that cannot be achieved with purchased malt.

Two casks. Exactly half from each. Thy Whisky FIFTY FIFTY is an experiment in equality – cask 664 and cask 1036, combined in precisely equal proportion and bottled straight from the cask.

Expert description

Thy Whisky FIFTY FIFTY Danish Retailers Cask 664 + 1036 is a Danish Cask Strength Single Malt Whisky bottled at 59.3% in a 70 cl bottle. Made from certified organic barley distilled and matured at Thy Whisky Distillery in northwest Jutland. FIFTY FIFTY denotes a precise 50/50 composition from cask 664 and cask 1036 – two individual casks selected and combined in equal proportion. Bottled at cask strength, non-chill filtered, natural colour.

Danish Retailers is an exclusive series created in collaboration with selected Danish specialist retailers. Whisky.dk is one of the retailers that has had access to select and present these limited releases.

Tasting notes

Nose

Powerful and concentrated – but with the raw and clean distillate character Thy Whisky is known for. Malt-sweet, lightly fruity and a little herbal.

Palate

Full-bodied and warm at 59.3%, with malt, light oak notes and good balance. Water opens it up and rounds it off.

Fondillón is the wine of kings — produced in tiny quantities near Alicante in Spain, rarely seen beyond the Iberian peninsula. Maturing Danish whisky in these casks is not merely an experiment. It is the world's first distillery bottling of whisky finished in Fondillón casks — and it was made in Denmark.

Expert description

Sall Whisky 5 Year Fondillon Cask is a Danish Single Malt Whisky matured in ex-bourbon casks and finished in rare Fondillón casks from Alicante, bottled at 55.4% Vol. This is a historic release: World First Ex-Fondillón Distillery Bottling.

Fondillón is an oxidative red wine from the Monastrell grape, produced exclusively in the Alicante region in quantities so small that it rarely reaches international markets. Sall Whisky is a Single Farm Single Malt distillery near Ebeltoft in Central Jutland with full control over barley, malting and maturation. The result is a 100% organic Danish whisky at 55.4% with a wine cask profile never previously seen in Danish whisky history. 340 bottles, no chill filtration, no colouring added.

Tasting notes

Nose

Dried orange peel and dark raisins from the Fondillón cask, with hints of fig and old wine cellar. Beneath the wine character lies Sall Whisky's clean malt and a gentle nutty sweetness.

Palate

Powerful and vinous with dark dried fruit, orange and a suggestion of dark chocolate. Malt and oak provide a steady foundation as the Fondillón cask takes clear command.

Finish

Long and lingering with dried fruits and a fine tannin grip from the Fondillón wine. Warm and complex — unlike almost anything else in Danish whisky.

Did you know?

Fondillón is documented in historical records from the 16th century, when it was served at European royal courts — hence the name "Wine of Kings". Today it is produced by only a handful of bodegas in the Alicante region, and Sall Whisky is the first distillery in the world to have bottled a distillate matured in these very casks.

Harvest is the time when everything comes in. The grain is stored, the air is sharper, and there is a calm to things. Stauning bottled that feeling and called it Høst – a single malt soft enough for everyday, complex enough to keep you interested.

Expert description

Stauning Høst is a Danish Single Malt Whisky bottled at 40.5%. Stauning Whisky was founded in 2005 by nine friends in Skjern, West Jutland. Høst is an approachable, balanced single malt focused on fresh fruit, soft sweetness and a light grain character from floor-malted barley. New design – the whisky remains the same familiar expression in updated packaging.

Tasting notes

Nose

Fresh and fruity with green apple, light honey and a hint of blossom. A touch of cream and soft vanilla.

2020. A good year for rye in Thy. The Whisky Trail chose to bottle it and put a year on it. Here is the result – a vintage rye whisky from one of Denmark's most locally rooted distilleries.

Expert description

The Whisky Trail Thy Whisky 2020 Vintage is a Danish Rye Whisky bottled at 50.5% in a 70 cl bottle. Distilled in 2020 from certified organic rye at Thy Whisky Distillery in northwest Jutland and bottled by The Whisky Trail – a respected bottler focused on exceptional distillate releases from Scandinavian and European distilleries. The 2020 vintage stamp places this as a specific harvest from that year.

Bottling with a year gives the whisky a traceability and identity anchor that anonymous releases lack. The rye from 2020 is now a whisky that speaks from a specific place and a specific time in Thy Whisky's history.

Tasting notes

Nose

Fresh rye with spice, light herbs and a natural, earthy sweetness. Authentic and precise.

Vintage dating on whisky gives the buyer knowledge of when the grain was harvested and distilled. For single estate distilleries like Thy Whisky, which grow their own grain, this is particularly meaningful – the character of the crop varies year by year depending on weather and growing conditions.

Amontillado is the forgotten midfielder of the sherry universe. Not as sweet as PX. Not as dense as Oloroso. But more complex than both. Mosgaard has chosen it as a cask type in 50 cl – and the result is nut kernels, hazelnuts and a dry, long finish.

Expert description

Mosgaard Amontillado is an organic Danish Single Malt Whisky bottled at 46.5% from Mosgaard Distillery in Odense. The whisky has been matured in Amontillado sherry casks – a sherry type that starts as Fino and continues ageing oxidatively into a complex, dry and nutty style. Amontillado casks give a character that differs clearly from the heavy sweetness of PX or Oloroso: here it is nuts, hazelnuts, wax and a dry, refined fruitiness. Bottled in 50 cl format.

Tasting notes

Nose

Dry hazelnut and waxy nuts with a light sulphury Fino background. Fresh and complex – far from the heavy sherry one might expect.

Palate

Elegant at 46.5% with nut kernels, lightly salted caramel and a dry, lavender-spiced oak. Amontillado gives a refined dryness that liberates the distillate rather than dominating it.

Did you know?

Amontillado sherry starts life as Fino – the lightest and driest sherry type. When a Fino loses its biological shield (la flor) and begins to oxidise, it completely changes character and becomes Amontillado: deep, nutty and refined. It is two wines in one bottle, and this gives a unique cask profile for whisky.

Braunstein opened in Køge in 2005. Brothers Michael and Rudi Braunstein were not the first to brew beer in Denmark, but they were early with Danish whisky. Festival 2014 Peated is a snapshot of what came out of the still that year — smoky, Danish, and bottled at 3 cl for those who want to taste before committing.

Expert description

Braunstein Peated Festival 2014 is a 3 cl sample of Danish Single Malt Whisky at 42%, produced by Braunstein Destilleri in Køge. It is a peated expression from the distillery's Festival Edition series, released in connection with Danish whisky events. The 3 cl sample size is ideal for forming an impression of the smoky side of Braunstein's production. Braunstein is one of Denmark's oldest whisky distilleries and has since 2005 combined beer and spirits under one roof.

Tasting notes

Nose

Light smoke and sweet malt. Braunstein's peated expression is far from Islay intensity — the smoke is subtle and woven into a fresh malt base. Light citrus and a hint of ash.

Palate

Fresh and lightly smoked. Sweet malt in the background with light fruit and a soft, slightly earthy character. The smoke does not rise but remains consistently present.

Ærø is a small island in the South Funen Archipelago. The distillery in Ærøskøbing is even smaller. Barley is grown locally, malted on the distillery's own malt floor, and double-distilled in a closed circuit. What comes out the other end is some of Denmark's most genuinely local whisky.

Expert description

Ærø Single Cask No 1 First Release is a Danish Single Malt Whisky at 61%, bottled at 50 cl and presented as a gift set with two whisky glasses. It is the first single cask release from Ærø Whisky A/S — the absolute debut of the distillery's single cask series. Ærø Whisky is a passionate micro-distillery located on Torvet 5 in Ærøskøbing, founded in 2013, producing whisky exclusively from local ingredients from Ærø. The barley is grown on local fields, malted on the distillery's own malt floor, and double-distilled in a closed circuit. The whisky is aged in oak casks — a combination of sherry casks and new oak. A single first-fill cask at 61% is a rare find from one of Denmark's most locally rooted distilleries.

Tasting notes

Nose

Rich and complex with oak and a touch of sherry. Honey, vanilla and dark fruit from the maturation. A fresh, local malt base that shines through the concentration.

Did you know?

PX sherry is made from Pedro Jiménez grapes sun-dried before pressing – the concentration of sugar and flavour is significantly higher than in most other wine styles used for whisky casks.

In the small village of Farre in central Jutland, time is not measured in quarterly reports. It is measured on the cask. Fary Lochan let this single malt wait for twelve years — and what came out carries patience in every sip, from the first breath to the long, slow finish.

Expert description

Fary Lochan 12 Year XII - Bourbon 2011/2023 Batch 01 is a Danish Single Malt Whisky matured in 1st fill bourbon barrels and bottled at 52.2% Vol. Distilled on 12 March 2011 and bottled on 9 October 2023, this release represents twelve years of Danish whisky history from one of the country's pioneer distilleries.

Fary Lochan Distillery was founded in 2009 in the village of Farre near Silkeborg and is widely regarded as one of Denmark's first dedicated Single Malt craft distilleries. The XII series focuses on extended cask maturation — this Batch 01 was drawn from 1st fill bourbon barrels and released in a strictly limited edition of just 322 bottles. No chill filtration, no colouring added.

Tasting notes

Nose

Clear vanilla and buttery caramel from the bourbon barrel, with ripe apple and honey biscuit. A subtle floral note and a gentle hint of beeswax in the background.

Palate

Creamy and rounded. Vanilla and baked apple lead, followed by lightly spiced oak and dried citrus peel. 52.2% brings good body without overwhelming the subtleties.

Finish

Medium-long and warm with oak sweetness and a gently dry edge. Vanilla and citrus linger on the palate.

Did you know?

Fary Lochan is one of the very few distilleries in the world to smoke malt using dried stinging nettles rather than peat — giving a gentle, herbal character quite unlike the Scottish style. The XII Bourbon release carries none of that nettle smoke, instead showcasing pure, slow bourbon cask maturation: two very different sides of the same distillery.

Cask number one. Sall Whisky's first retailer single cask – bottled from a single oloroso sherry cask for the retailers who wanted to be first with an exclusive edition of the North Jutland single farm malt.

Expert description

Sall Whisky Forhandlernes Fad #1 Oloroso Cask is a Danish Single Malt Whisky bottled at 50.3% from Sall Whisky in Djursland. It is the distillery's first "retailer cask" – a single cask chosen and bottled specifically for selected retailers. The cask is an oloroso sherry cask, which adds a sweet, nutty sherry character with dark fruits and dried grapes to Sall Whisky's organic single farm malt. 50.3% is a good strength to show the sherry cask's nuances without losing the malt's grain character.

Tasting notes

Nose

The oloroso sherry's sweet, nutty character meets Sall Whisky's clean Jutland single farm malt. Dried grapes, hazelnut and a light spiciness from the sherry cask.

Palate

50.3% gives a good balance. The sherry cask's sweetness and nuts are clear, but the grain base is still visible – lightly fruity and organic beneath the classic oloroso character.

Finish

Long and warm with oloroso sherry's nutty and lightly sweet close.

Medium. Single cask bottling from a limited retailer cask programme – Forhandlernes Fad #1 exists in one cask's volume.

Did you know?

Oloroso is one of the driest sherry styles – it is made without the protective biological flor film that characterises fino and manzanilla, and instead oxidises slowly. This gives oloroso casks a dense, nutty and sweet profile that is easily recognisable in whisky. For Sall Whisky's clean single farm malt, it is an exciting partnership.

Imperial. A name that carries history with it. Imperial barley is one of the oldest known malting barleys – and Thy Whisky has used it to distil a single malt that focuses specifically on the grain's identity.

Expert description

Thy Whisky Heritage Barley Imperial 2019 is a Danish Single Malt Whisky bottled at 56% in a 70 cl bottle. Distilled in 2019 and matured at Thy Whisky Distillery in Thy. Imperial is a historic English malting barley variety with roots going back to the 19th century, which was once dominant in British beer and whisky production. Thy Whisky are pioneers in rediscovering these heritage barley varieties in Danish whisky – a series that includes KORNMOD, STOVT and Maltmod.

56% is a good strength for this type of heritage barley single malt – powerful enough to show the grain's character, but not excessive. A 2019 distillation provides a well-matured foundation.

Tasting notes

Nose

Fresh and grain-expressive with honey, light herbs and a richer, more substantial malt dimension than modern malting barley. The Imperial character is clearly present.

Palate

Full-bodied and grain-rich with sweet malt, light oak influence and a deeper, more substantial grain base than standard barley. Interesting and different.

Finish

Moderately long with clean malt sweetness and light oak warmth. Solid and satisfying.

Did you know?

Imperial barley was developed in England in the 1820s and was for a long time the dominant malting barley variety in Britain. With the industrialisation of agriculture it disappeared in favour of higher-yielding but flavourwise more neutral modern varieties. Today Imperial is grown primarily for specialist use – and Thy Whisky is one of the first distilleries in Scandinavia to use it for whisky.

The predecessor to the 2025 vintage. Thy Whisky PX & Oloroso 2024 is the same series – the same concept – but its own vintage batch with its unique sherry character and a different strength choice of 49.5%.

Expert description

Thy Whisky PX & Oloroso 2024 is a Danish Single Malt Whisky bottled at 49.5% in a 70 cl bottle. Distilled and matured at Thy Whisky Distillery in Thy. The whisky is finished on a combination of Pedro Ximenez and Oloroso sherry casks, bottled without chill filtration and with natural colour. PX & Oloroso is an annual release – each year is a new batch with its own character. The 2024 vintage is bottled at a gentler strength than 2025 and with its own flavour profile.

49.5% is a gentle strength for a finished single malt and gives broader accessibility. Suits those who want the sweet/nutty sherry combination in a more subdued format.

Tasting notes

Nose

Sweet and nutty with raisin, light fig, walnut and honey. PX and Oloroso in good balance.

Palate

Harmonious and soft with PX sweetness and Oloroso dryness in fine balance. Malt, light spices and soft sherry fullness.

The series is inspired by Funen's coastal culture with maritime and nautical names. Made from 100% organic barley and distilled in copper pot stills in the historic DSB train depot in Nyborg, Funen.

Tasting notes

Nose

Warm and fruity with an inviting malt base. Light notes of vanilla and caramel with a fresh fruity tone and a hint of warm spice.

Full-bodied and warm at 52.8% with good malt body and fruity sweetness. A gentle spiciness from the oak underpins the fruity character.

Rye is a harder grain to work with than barley. But it is also a grain with more character — spicy, peppery, dry and more insistent in flavour. Reinheart has matured their rye for six years and bottled it as a Small Batch. This is a more mature expression than the younger releases and shows what time does to rye.

Expert description

Reinheart Rye Whiskey 6 Year Small Batch is a Danish Rye Whiskey at 45%, bottled at 50 cl. It is matured for six years and produced as a Small Batch bottling — meaning from a limited number of casks at a time. Reinheart is a Danish micro-distillery producing rye and malt whiskies with a focus on craftsmanship and Danish raw materials. Six years is a respectable age for a Danish rye whiskey and gives the cask time to soften rye's natural edges.

Tasting notes

Nose

Peppery and spicy with characteristic rye aroma. Sweet vanilla and caramel from the cask. Lightly bakery-like — rye bread and a hint of cinnamon stick.

Palate

The rye character is central — dry, spicy and insistent with oak and caramel in the background. 45% is a good strength for this expression — enough to carry the flavour without being harsh.

Finish

Long and spicy with dried fruit and rye bread. Warm and satisfying.

Smoke meets sweetness. Stauning Smoke finished in Tawny Port casks is an expression in two acts – the fresh West Jutland smoke and the South European sweetness of the port cask.

Expert description

Stauning Smoke Tawny Port Cask Finish Limited Edition is a Danish Whisky bottled at 50.3% without chill filtration. The base is Stauning's Smoke – made from floor-malted smoked barley peated with heather and oak chips – which has then been finished in Tawny Port casks. Tawny Port is an oxidatively aged fortified wine with notes of nuts, caramel and dried fruit, adding sweetness and softness to Stauning's characterful smoke.

This is a Limited Edition release, produced in limited numbers.

Tasting notes

Nose

Fresh smoke and dried fruit. Almonds and caramel from the port casks with Stauning's heather-smoke in the background.

Palate

Soft and rounded with sweet smoke, raisins and almonds. A light spicy note from the barley balances the sweetness of the port cask.

Finish

Medium-long and warm. Smoke and sweet fruit linger, with a gentle dried-nut bitterness at the close.

Cask Strength. PX. 2024. Thy Whisky PX Cask Strength 2024 is the powerful version of the distillery's Pedro Ximenez finish: a single malt bottled directly from the PX cask without dilution and with the full concentrated sweetness intact.

Expert description

Thy Whisky PX Cask Strength 2024 Limited Edition is a Danish Single Malt Whisky bottled at cask strength 58.3% in a 70 cl bottle. Distilled and matured at Thy Whisky Distillery in Thy. The whisky is finished on Pedro Ximenez sherry casks and bottled at cask strength without dilution, chill filtration or colour addition. The 2024 Limited Edition is a limited vintage batch and complements the standard-strength PX & Oloroso 2024 edition.

58.3% with PX influence is a fascinating combination. The sherry sweetness dampens the alcohol perception in a pleasant way, and the uncut bottling preserves all the nuances from the PX cask.

Tasting notes

Nose

Intensely sweet PX with raisin, fig, dark honey and a light wine note. Concentrated and inviting.

Palate

Powerful and sweet with dark dried fruit, chocolate and a soft warmth. The PX character carries the strength beautifully.

Pedro Ximenez and cask strength is a rare combination in Danish whisky.

Oloroso. The dry, nutty sherry classic. Thy Whisky Oloroso Shared Cask No 442 is a Danish single malt finished in an Oloroso sherry cask and bottled directly from the cask without dilution.

Expert description

Thy Whisky Oloroso Shared Cask No 442 is a Danish Single Malt Whisky bottled at cask strength 60.1% in a 50 cl bottle. Distilled and matured at Thy Whisky Distillery in Thy. Oloroso is one of the classic dry sherry types with characteristic nutty aromas, oak and dark fruit. Cask No. 442 is a Shared Cask – bottled for a group of private co-cask owners.

The Oloroso cask and the north Jutland distillate meet in an interesting contrast: the distillate's fresh, malt-based character confronted with the sherry cask's dry, nutty depth. The result is a more complex and structured whisky than the distillery's un-cask-influenced expressions.

Tasting notes

Nose

Dry and nutty with walnut, light chocolate, a little oak and a soft fruitiness in the background. The Oloroso character is clear.

Palate

Complex and structured with dry nuts, malt base, light pepper and the sherry cask depth. Drier than the PX variant. Very satisfying.

Finish

Long and nutty with light dryness and oak. Striking and persistent.

Did you know?

Oloroso is one of the oldest and most well-known sherry types. The name means "fragrant" in Spanish, and Oloroso sherry oxidises during maturation – unlike Fino and Manzanilla, which mature under a protective layer of yeast. This gives the dry, nutty and complex character that whisky enthusiasts love in Oloroso casks.

Spelt and rye from the northwest Jutland fields. Thy Whisky Spelt Rye takes whisky in an unexpected direction – away from classic barley and into a grain world that suits the north Jutland climate best.

Expert description

Thy Whisky Spelt Rye Core Expressions is a Danish Organic Rye Whisky bottled at 48.5% in a 70 cl bottle. Distilled from a blend of certified organic spelt and rye – both grown locally in Thy. Floor-malted and double distilled in-house. Spelt and rye give a markedly different flavour picture than a traditional barley single malt – more spiced, more earthy and with a complexity that surprises.

Spelt is an ancient grain with roots in north European agricultural tradition. In whisky it adds a nutty and slightly sweet dimension that complements the rye's natural spiciness.

Tasting notes

Nose

Spiced and lightly nutty with rye bread and a little citrus. More earthy than the standard Core Expressions.

Palate

Spiced rye core with spelt's nut sweetness. Light pepper and a touch of baked grain. Well balanced.

Finish

Moderate and spiced with malt sweetness and light warmth at the end.
