Knaplund Whiskey

Knaplund is the Jutland distillery proving that Danish whisky can have its own Nordic voice without copying Scotland. Rooted in Jutland's farming culture and a focus on local ingredients, the distillery makes single malt with a distinctly Nordic character. This is whisky that insists on tasting of its own landscape.

  • Bottle of Knaplund 5 Year Wheated Straight Bourbon Limited Edition 70 cl
    Item no.: 22227865335-47565

    Wheat instead of rye. That is the core of Knaplund's take on a Wheated Straight Bourbon — softer, rounder, with Danish character underneath.

    Expert description

    Knaplund 5 Year Wheated Straight Bourbon Limited Edition is a Danish Whiskey inspired by the bourbon tradition, bottled at 50% and aged for 5 years. Where a classic bourbon uses rye as the secondary grain, this one uses wheat — giving a softer, more fruit-forward character. "Straight" means aged at least 2 years with no artificial colour or flavour. Limited edition release. 70 cl.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Vanilla and honey with soft wheat tones and a hint of peach. Light oak in the background.

    Palate

    Round and smooth with caramel, butterscotch and ripe fruit. Less spicy than a classic bourbon.

    Finish

    Medium-length and sweet with dry wheat notes and vanilla.

    Item no.: 22227865335-47566

    One extra year by the sea gives Knaplund's 6 Year expression more depth. More oak, more salt, more time for the coast to do its work.

    Expert description

    Knaplund 6 Year Atlantic Aged Limited Edition Danish Rye Whiskey is a Danish Rye Whiskey matured for 6 years near the Atlantic and bottled at 50%. One year more than the Batch series — the extra time in cask rounds some of the rye's sharper edges and lets oak and sea air make a more distinct impression. Limited Edition, restricted number of bottles. 50 cl.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Spicy rye with more oak and vanilla than Batch 2. Dried fruit, light salt and maritime notes.

    Palate

    Rounder and more balanced at 50%. Spice and oak with caramel and ripe fruit. The coast still comes through clearly.

    Finish

    Medium-length and warm with rye, oak and a discreet touch of salt.

    A single extra year in cask can significantly change a whisky's character — especially in maritime environments, where sea air works faster and more intensely than in inland warehouses.

    Item no.: 22227865479-1106-197278453

    The first batch. Knaplund started with wheat and sea — and the result is a bourbon-inspired whiskey that tastes of Denmark's west coast.

    Expert description

    Knaplund Atlantic Aged Batch 1 Wheated Straight Bourbon Whiskey is the first release in Knaplund's Atlantic aged bourbon-inspired series, bottled at 50%.

Matured near the Atlantic so sea air leaves its maritime signature. 50 cl.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Soft and approachable with honey, vanilla and light wheat pastry. A discreet salt breeze from the Atlantic.

    Palate

    Round and creamy at 50%. Butterscotch, ripe fruit and caramel with a subtle maritime note in the background.

    Expert description

    Knaplund Atlantic Aged Batch 2 Rye Whiskey is the second release in Knaplund's coastal series — a Danish Rye Whiskey matured near the Atlantic and bottled at 50%.
