Gefjun Urt Gefjun Destilleri Danish Whisky 50 cl 57%

Gefjun Distillery is a Danish craft distillery based in Skovlunde on the island of Zealand, known for its curious approach to flavour and its willingness to challenge convention. With a focus on quality, innovation and local ingredients, the distillery has already made its mark with award‑winning gin and rum – and now with its first whisky release: Urt.

Urt is the result of a unique collaboration between Gefjun and a passionate Danish brewer. The starting point is a powerful amber lager brewed from three carefully selected malt types, contributing deep caramel notes and a reddish‑gold hue. The beer base undergoes a secondary fermentation that increases dryness and alcohol strength – ideal conditions for distillation.

Hops are deliberately omitted to let the malt character shine clearly. After distillation, the new‑make spirit is matured in oak casks, where time and wood shape its expression. The result is a Danish whisky with warmth, depth and a pronounced malt profile – a liquid story of what happens when brewing artistry and distillation craftsmanship merge.

Gefjun Urt is created with passion, matured with patience and bottled with pride. It is more than just a whisky – it is a new chapter in Danish spirits history.
