In 2020, Thornæs Distillery in North Zealand distilled what would become the 2nd Release three years later. An organic Danish single malt at 50.5% – the second chapter in a distillery story that is still putting down roots.

Expert description

Thornæs 2nd Release 2020/2023 is an organic Danish Single Malt Whisky bottled at 50.5% from Thornæs Distillery in North Zealand. The whisky was distilled in 2020 and bottled in 2023 – and is the second official release from Thornæs. The bottle came in 50 cl, which is Thornæs's standard size for their releases. The distillery is organically certified and works with local ingredients from North Zealand. The 2nd Release marks a young distillery in its early phase – with a product that shows direction and character.

Tasting notes

Nose

Young, fresh and organic – clearly North Zealand malt with fruity tones and a light sweetness from the grain. This is a distillate that shows potential rather than long maturation.

Palate

50.5% gives body without overwhelming. Lightly fruity and grainy with a purity that typically characterises young organic distillates.

Finish

Shorter and fresh – a young expression with the imprint of organic grain.

Did you know?

Thornæs 2nd Release came just three years after distillation. That is a short maturation period for whisky – but for a young Danish distillery, the first releases are more about showing what the style is than delivering a fully matured expression. The 2nd Release is a historical document from Thornæs's early years.

Eleven years in Danish oak, then a journey through French cognac casks. A bold finish that takes Fary Lochan malt in a new direction.

Expert description

Fary Lochan 2012/2023 Cognac Cask 11 Years Batch 01 is a Danish Single Malt Whisky distilled in 2012, finished in French cognac casks, and bottled in 2023 at 59%, 50 cl. Fary Lochan distillery in Give, Jutland, was founded by Jeff Callaway in 2009. The base maturation is in traditional oak casks, but the finish in cognac casks brings a fresh, fruit-driven complexity that defines this expression. Batch 01 is the first bottling of this expression. Non-chill filtered with natural colour.

Tasting notes

Nose

Vanilla, dried apricot, cognac sweetness and light oak.

Palate

Ripe fruit, white chocolate, light floral notes and a warm alcohol roundness.

Finish

Medium length with fruity sweetness and a hint of oak spice.

Cask No. 292. One cask, one release. Thy Whisky Distillery Edition is the distillery's own single cask line – selected casks bottled directly and without compromise. This is it.

Expert description

Thy Whisky Distillery Edition Cask No. 292 is a Danish Organic Single Malt Whisky bottled at cask strength 59.6% in a 50 cl bottle. Distilled from certified organic barley at Thy Whisky Distillery in northwest Jutland and bottled from a single cask – Cask No. 292. Distillery Edition designates the distillery's own line of single cask expressions: specially selected casks, bottled without dilution, without chill filtration and with natural colour.

59.6% is cask strength in the literal sense. It is the whisky as the cask made it. A little water opens it up and reveals a sweetness and depth that can otherwise hide behind the alcohol.

Tasting notes

Nose

Full-bodied and rich with vanilla sweetness, dried fruit and light oak bitterness. The intensity from cask strength is clear but not sharp.

Palate

Powerful malt with caramel, dried fruit, light pepper and good cask influence. Persistent and complex.

Finish

Long with oak, warm spice and a light sweetness. Striking and satisfying.

In the far reaches of North Jutland, where winter storms sweep across open farmland and ancient ruins speak of a thousand years of history, Søgaard Destilleri has created a whisky with something to say. Bisgaardsmark Børglum Kloster is named after one of Denmark's most remarkable medieval monasteries.

Expert description

Bisgaardsmark Børglum Kloster Single Malt Danish Whisky is a limited single malt from Søgaard Destilleri in Aalborg, bottled at 46.1% in a 50 cl bottle and presented as a gift set with a whisky glass. Named after Børglum Monastery — an Augustinian monastery dating back to the 12th century in northern Jutland — the whisky pays tribute to the region's deep cultural history. Only 501 bottles were produced, bottled on 13 November 2023. Søgaard Destilleri is part of Søgaards Bryghus in Aalborg, a project that started in 2018 when the distillery equipment was ordered from CARL, a German firm founded in 1869. The distillery focuses on terroir-driven Danish whisky production using grain from North Jutland's islands. The whisky is matured in bourbon oak casks and is unpeated.

Tasting notes

Nose

Soft and approachable with sweet malt and fresh barley grain. Vanilla and light caramel from the bourbon cask appear early, with delicate floral notes and a hint of honey in the background.

Palate

Round and harmonious. Sweet malt and caramel lead, followed by fresh fruit notes — hints of pear and green apple. A gentle warming spice develops toward the finish.

Finish

Medium-long and smooth, with lingering vanilla and light oak. A clean, fresh close that invites another sip.

Peat and bourbon are two things that don't always go hand in hand. But Mosgaard has done it – and batch number one is here. Peated malt meets the bourbon cask's vanilla and sweetness in an organic Danish expression at 48.4%.

Expert description

Mosgaard Peated Bourbon Batch #1 is an organic Peated Danish Single Malt Whisky bottled at 48.4% from Mosgaard Distillery in Odense. The whisky is the first batch in Mosgaard's Peated Bourbon series – peated malt matured in ex-bourbon casks. It is a combination that creates an interesting contrast: the smoke from the peat meets the sweet vanilla and caramel of the bourbon cask, and the result is a smoky expression with a softer, fruitier edge than typical peated whiskies matured in ex-sherry casks. Bottled in 50 cl format.

Tasting notes

Nose

Smoky peat with the bourbon cask's sweet vanilla and caramel underneath. An interesting intersection of smoke and sweetness.

Palate

Fresh smoke with bourbon vanilla, light citrus sweetness and grain in the background. The bourbon cask softens the peat and gives a more fruity and approachable smoke style.

Finish

Medium long with lingering smoke and a soft, lightly vanilla-sweet close from the bourbon cask.

Did you know?

Ex-bourbon casks are one of the most widely used cask types in the whisky world – but the combination with peated malt is relatively uncommon. Most peated single malts use ex-sherry casks to amplify the smoke. Mosgaard's Peated Bourbon Batch #1 does the opposite and gives the peat a light, fresh bourbon foundation instead of a dark, fruity sherry base.

One day there was no Thornæs 1st Release. Then there was. That is how it feels with the first bottles from a new distillery – and Thornæs Distillery in North Zealand's 1st Release is exactly that: the beginning.

Expert description

Thornæs 1st Release is an organic Danish Single Malt Whisky bottled at 50.9% from Thornæs Distillery in North Zealand. It is the distillery's very first official whisky release – the historic bottle that marks the moment a distillery goes from being new to having a history. Thornæs is an organic distillery in North Zealand working with local ingredients and small batch production. The 1st Release came in 50 cl at 50.9% – a clean, naturally bottled expression from the first casks. As a 1st Release, the bottle is now historic for everyone following Danish whisky.

Tasting notes

Nose

Fresh and organic with the clear North Zealand distillate at the centre. Lightly fruity with the imprint of organic grain and early maturation.

Palate

50.9% gives body and weight. The early maturation is noticeable, but the distillate quality is clear – clean, fruity and with potential for what comes after in the distillery's future releases.

Finish

Fresh and relatively short – a young distillery's signature rather than long maturation.

First releases from new distilleries tend to rise in collector value over time – not necessarily because the whisky is the best bottle the distillery will ever make, but because they represent a unique historic moment.

Port wine is perhaps the most approachable of all sherry-like casks – soft sweetness, red berries and flowers. Mosgaard has used it in 50 cl format at 49%, and the result is a Danish single malt that doesn't intimidate anyone.

Expert description

Mosgaard Port Wine Cask is an organic Danish Single Malt Whisky bottled at 49% from Mosgaard Distillery in Odense. The whisky has been matured in port wine casks, which impart a soft, fruity and gently sweet character with red berries and flowers. Port wine casks are produced from the remnants of fortified wines from Portugal and give a more approachable and fruity expression than heavy sherry casks. Bottled in 50 cl format.

Tasting notes

Nose

Soft sweetness with red berries, cherries and light floral notes. A fresh and inviting nose.

Palate

Round and fruity at 49% with the port wine cask's soft character. Red fruits, vanilla and a light spicy oak. Approachable and harmonious.

Port wine is a fortified wine from the Douro Valley in Portugal. Once port wine casks have given up most of their port character, whisky distilleries use them as finishing casks.

Before the deep complexity of whisky emerges, there is a moment of pure, clear distillate. Vindblæst White Dog captures that moment — the raw spirit as it leaves the copper still, before casks have had any say.

Expert description

Vindblæst White Dog Søgaard Destilleri Limited Edition Danish Raw Spirit is a set of 4x5 cl unaged raw spirit from Søgaard Destilleri's Vindblæst production in Aalborg. Each small bottle reflects the terroir from one of the four North Jutland island partners — Livø, Læsø, Egholm, and Fur — all growing the organic malting barley variety Odyssey, which forms the basis of the Vindblæst whisky series. The raw spirit is clear and uncoloured, as it has not been cask-matured. It is unpeated, and the flavour reflects the pure distilled malt without any oak influence. A White Dog set offers a unique opportunity to understand the starting point of a whisky's journey — and to compare terroir influence at the raw spirit stage.

Tasting notes

Nose

Fresh and grain-forward with clear sweet malt from the Odyssey barley. Lightly floral with young herbal notes and a clean, clear spirit character — untouched by wood and time.

Palate

Sweet grain and fresh malt dominate. Clean and direct with gentle spice and a natural sweetness from the unaged barley distillate. Terroir differences from the four islands manifest as subtle variations in grain richness and freshness.

Finish

Short and fresh with clean malt and gentle grain warmth. No cask notes — pure and honest raw spirit as it is.

Four islands. Four soils. The same seed — yet whisky with a different voice from each of them. That is the essence of Vindblæst Danish Island Whisky, Denmark's first island whisky, released in 2023 after years of quiet maturation in North Jutland.

Expert description

Vindblæst Whisky Søgaard Destilleri Limited Edition is Denmark's first island whisky — four versions of Danish Single Malt Whisky, bottled at 46.1%, available as a set of 4x20 cl bottles from Livø, Læsø, Egholm, and Fur respectively. The concept is built on a collaboration with farmers on four North Jutland islands, all growing the same variety — Odyssey, a malting barley specially suited for whisky production. The same grain, the same distillery, but four different terroirs that produce measurably different flavour profiles from island to island. The raw spirit is matured in used Jack Daniels bourbon oak casks on Livø before bottling. The whiskies are organic and unpeated. The first release took place on 10 June 2023 at Musikkens Hus in Aalborg, with 50 tasting judges from around the world. Søgaard Destilleri is part of Søgaards Bryghus in Aalborg, which began distillation in 2018 using equipment from German manufacturer CARL.

Tasting notes

Nose

Fresh and fruity with sweet malt as a base. Vanilla and caramel from the bourbon casks provide a classic roundness, alongside delicate floral notes and a hint of honey that varies subtly from island to island.

Palate

Smooth and well-balanced, with sweet malt and caramel notes leading. Fruity complexity — pear, apple, a touch of citrus — followed by gentle warming spice. The terroir differences show as nuances rather than contrasts.

Finish

Medium-long with lingering vanilla, light oak, and fresh grain. A clean and composed finish typical of bourbon-matured, unpeated single malt.

Cask #2 is one of two bottlings from Reinheart's 2015 distillation — this barrel at 56.8%. A bourbon-inspired rye whiskey from a Danish-German collaboration, aged 7 years in a Toast M / Char 4 American oak cask.

Expert description

Reinheart Rye Whiskey Cask #2 2022 is a Danish Rye Whiskey at 56.8%, distilled in Germany in 2015 and bottled in December 2022 as a Single Cask from Cask #2, in a limited run of 250 numbered bottles. The mashbill is 70% rye, 20% corn and 10% malted barley. Matured in an American virgin oak cask (Toast M / Char 4) at Vintre Møller in Central Zealand, Denmark. Bottled by Hammer & Son. The founders of the project came up with the idea after a pub crawl in 2012, aiming to make a classic rye whiskey in the bourbon tradition.

Tasting notes

Nose

Fresh rye, vanilla and oak. Light spice notes — cinnamon, black pepper — with a soft honey character from the oak maturation.

Palate

Balanced and spicy. Rye dominates with its characteristic dryness, but the oak's vanilla and caramel are present. Marginally softer than Cask #3 at 56.8%.

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.

Palate

Light smoke and fresh fruits dominate. Yellow apples, pear and light vanilla with a subtle herbal note from the heather.

The 20th number in Thy Whisky's numbered series.

53.4% places No 20 Maltmod as a middleweig ht: strong enough to carry its grain character, but not so high that it overwhelms. Bottled without chill filtration and with natural colour.

Tasting notes

Nose

Fresh and grain-expressive with honey, light herbs and a softer, more rounded malt dimension than standard single malt.

Soft and malt-sweet with good fullness. The malt modification gives a slightly fresher and lighter grain character than STOVT or standard malt. Pleasant complexity.

Braunstein's Warehouse Edition is a series you want to experience from more than one expression. The gift set solves that in one go: five 20 cl bottles, five different Warehouse Edition expressions, one complete tasting experience. Braunstein in cross-section.

Expert description

Braunstein Warehouse Edition Gift Set is a collection of five 20 cl bottles of Danish Single Malt Whisky from Braunstein's Warehouse Edition series. The five expressions have individual strengths ranging from 48.2% to 50.4%, reflecting the natural variations from the individual casks in the series. Braunstein Destilleri in Køge was founded in 2005 by brothers Michael and Rudi Braunstein and is one of Denmark's oldest and most established whisky distilleries. The Warehouse Edition is the distillery's premium series, matured in first-fill casks to maximise the cask's contribution to the flavour.

Tasting notes

Nose

Complex and varied — the five expressions bring individual facets. Common threads of sweet malt, oak and light fruit. Braunstein's characteristic balance between malt and cask is present across the set.

Palate

Full and nuanced. Each expression brings its own notes, but common to all is Braunstein's round, balanced style with good oak depth and sweet malt at the centre.

Finish

Lingering and warm. Dried fruit, oak and light sweetness share the stage depending on the expressions.

Braunstein is one of very few places in Denmark that both brews beer and distils whisky under one roof. This is not accidental — the Braunstein brothers came from the beer world and used their understanding of malt and fermentation as the foundation for whisky production.

Smoke and raw power. Isle of Fionia Peated Black is not for the cautious. A young organic peated Danish Single Malt Whisky at 61% that shows what medium peated malt can do when you don't hide it behind years and years in cask.

Expert description

Isle of Fionia Peated Black is an organic peated Danish Single Malt Whisky bottled at 61% from Isle of Fionia / Nyborg Distillery in Nyborg, Funen. Made from medium peated organic malt, delivering a pleasant but distinct smoky character. The whisky was first matured on used Jack Daniels bourbon casks and then partially finished on STR white oak wine casks. STR treatment – Shaved, Toasted and Re-charred – opens the cask back up, adding extra sweetness and fruity complexity. Bottled at 61% without dilution.

Tasting notes

Nose

Clear and expressive smoke from the peated malt kernels, combined with fruity sweetness from the bourbon cask and a light winey note from the STR finish. An explosive and direct nose.

Palate

Powerful smoke that stays clear and clean at 61%. A fruitiness walks hand in hand with the smoke – this is not the typical Islay iodine style but a cleaner, more malt-based smoke. The warm strength amplifies both smoke and spice.

Finish

Long and persistent with smoke as the dominant note. A light fruity sweetness from the casks settles in as a gentle contrast in the long close.

Did you know?

STR casks – Shaved, Toasted and Re-charred – are a technique that gives used wine casks a new lease of life. The surface is shaved, toasted and re-charred so the cask can contribute fresh flavours again. It is a clever method for extracting complexity from casks that would otherwise have exhausted their potential.

Denmark is not the first country that comes to mind when the talk turns to peated single malt. But Isle of Fionia Peated is here to change that – medium-peated organic malt, Bourbon casks from Tennessee and a touch of white oak. Something entirely its own.

Expert description

Isle of Fionia Peated is an organic Peated Danish Single Malt Whisky bottled at 48%. Distilled at Isle of Fionia / Nyborg Distillery in the historic DSB train depot in Nyborg, Funen, the whisky is made from medium-peated organic malt that gives a noticeable but not overwhelming smoke character. Cask-wise, it has primarily rested in Jack Daniels Bourbon casks with a partial finish in STR white oak casks – Shaved, Toasted and Re-charred. A young, characterful whisky with smoke up front and Bourbon sweetness as its counterpart. EAN: 5712631000216.

Tasting notes

Nose

Clear and inviting with light medicinal smoke – less Islay, more coastal Danish. Behind it: vanilla and caramel from the Jack Daniels casks and a fresh nose of organic malt.

Palate

Young smoke upfront with good body for its age. The Bourbon cask sweetness pushes through – vanilla caramel and dark wood – while the smoke holds its ground. The STR casks give a woody, spiced finish.

Finish

Medium to long with a lingering smoke note and warm oak bitterness at the base.

Did you know?

Unlike many Scottish peated whiskies that use peat from specific Scottish bogs, Isle of Fionia peats their malt with Danish or European peat. This gives a slightly different smoke character – more earthy and less medicinal than a classic Islay.

KORNMOD. It is about the grain – not just as a raw material, but as identity. Thy Whisky No 18 KORNMOD is made from a special and ancient Danish grain modification that carries far more character than modern malting barley.

Expert description

Thy Whisky No 18 KORNMOD is a Danish Single Malt Whisky bottled at 47.3% in a 70 cl bottle. Distilled and matured at Thy Whisky Distillery in Thy. KORNMOD refers to the use of a traditional Danish grain modification – a historic barley variety with roots in Nordic agricultural tradition. The distillery are pioneers in bringing these rare grain varieties back into whisky production and exploring what they contribute to the flavour profile.

47.3% is an approachable strength for a single malt with a complex starting point. KORNMOD speaks to the enthusiast and the historically interested whisky lover – a bottle that tastes different because the grain is different.

Tasting notes

Nose

Fresh and grain-expressive with light herbs, soft fruit and an earthy, almost grass-inspired freshness.

Palate

Complex grain character with sweetness, light tannins and subtle botanical notes. Different from standard barley.

Finish

Moderate and clean with the grain's natural sweetness and a light dryness at the end.

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.

Finish

Medium-long and dry. Botanical traces and lightly spiced rye linger with a pleasant bitterness at the close.

Did you know?

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.

Valby is not the first place you think of when you think single malt. But since 2017, Copenhagen Distillery has been distilling Danish malt in an industrial quarter south of the city centre, and the Refined Edition is the distillery's core expression.
