Stauning Smoked R.Y.E Sherry Oak Danish Whisky 70 cl 53%

Stauning Smoked R.Y.E. is a groundbreaking release from the West Jutland distillery, marking the first time Stauning introduces a smoked rye whisky. This Limited Studio Edition is not only a new style but also the debut of Stauning’s redesigned bottle, which will be rolled out across the entire range.

The whisky is made from floor-malted Danish rye and barley, dried with local peat and heather from West Jutland. This creates an elegant and balanced smoke profile that supports the complex layers of flavor. Distilled in copper stills heated with direct fire and matured first in new American oak casks and then in hand-selected Moscatel sherry casks, it develops into a rich and layered dram.

The aroma offers floral notes, smoke, and berries, while the taste reveals dark fruits, caramel, and gentle spice. Its golden amber color and structured character make this a sophisticated whisky with a clear identity.

Stauning Smoked R.Y.E. is part of the Studio Edition series and produced in a limited run of 2,500 bottles. It is 4 years old, bottled at 53.0% ABV, and reflects Stauning’s experimental spirit and local roots.

Tasting notes include vanilla, toasted rye bread, beeswax, orange peel, citrus, cherry, black tea, wild herbs, cinnamon, golden tobacco, dried fruit, toasted oak, and leather. A whisky with depth, balance, and smoke that never overshadows the details – ideal for the curious whisky enthusiast.
