Stauning Høst Danish Whisky 70 cl 40.5%

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.
