Stauning Kaos Triple Malt 2021 Danish Whisky 70 cl 46%

Chaos is not the absence of order. It is the moment three things meet at once and create something unexpected. Barley, rye and smoked malt – Stauning's signature blend – distilled, matured and bottled as one coherent thought.

Expert description

Stauning Kaos Triple Malt is a Danish Triple Malt Whisky bottled at 46%. Stauning Whisky was founded in 2005 by nine friends in Skjern, West Jutland. Kaos is the distillery's flagship expression – a blend of three malted grains: barley, rye and peated barley, all floor-malted on-site. Kaos represents the essence of Stauning Whisky: a little smoke, a little spice, fresh fruit and a West Jutland character running through everything. Matured in a combination of ex-bourbon and sherry casks.

Tasting notes

Nose

Fresh fruit and a discreet smoke undertone. A little honey, light bread and a hint of cinnamon. The rye contributes a fine pepper spice in the background.

Palate

Round and complex with fruity sweetness up front, then spiced rye and a light smoke. Pear, plum, light syrup and warm bread spice.

Finish

Medium length with gentle smoke and persistent spice. Finishes cleanly.

Did you know?

The name Kaos is no accident. When the distillery first experimented with blending three grain types together, the result was unpredictable – and that is precisely what created the distillery's most beloved whisky.

Frequently asked questions about Stauning Kaos Triple Malt

What does Stauning Kaos taste like?

Stauning Kaos is a complex blend of fresh fruit, gentle smoke and spiced rye. Expect pear, plum, light smoke and a persistent rye spice on the finish.

What is "Triple Malt" in Stauning Kaos?

Triple Malt means the whisky is made from three malted grains: barley, rye and peated barley, all floor-malted at the distillery. This creates a more layered flavour profile than a typical single malt.

Is Stauning Kaos different from Design Edition Kaos?

No, the whisky itself is identical. The Design Edition comes in a gift box with stickers and gold-foil details. Standard Kaos is the same whisky in normal packaging.

What does Stauning Kaos pair well with?

It works well as a cocktail base in an Old Fashioned or Manhattan, but is also excellent for sipping with a single ice cube. Pairs well with grilled food, dark chocolate or bold cheese.

Is Stauning Kaos good value?

Kaos offers a rare combination: a distillery with an international reputation for craftsmanship, a complex three-grain profile and a generous 46% bottling. It competes with far more expensive single malts.

What defines Stauning Kaos as a signature expression?

The characteristic Kaos profile is built on the balance between fruity barley, spiced rye and peated barley. None of the three dominates – they circulate around each other, creating a whisky that never tastes exactly the same twice.
