Expert description

Stauning Private Cask ROMMER Whisky.dk 6 Year 2010/2017 is a Danish Peated Single Malt Whisky bottled at cask strength 60.8%. ROMMER is the name given to this specific Private Cask, owned and matured by Whisky.dk for six years from 2010 to 2017. The peated style draws on Stauning's West Jutland peat, delivering a green and herbal smoke character. Six years brings more integration and depth than younger releases – the smoke is well-integrated with oak sweetness and a complexity that shorter maturations rarely achieve. At 60.8%, this is a powerful, undiluted version of Stauning's peated style.

Nose

Well-integrated smoke with a light herbal edge. Vanilla, gentle citrus and oak sweetness grow beneath the smoke.

Palate

Powerful and complex. Smoke, spices and a sweetness of vanilla and light caramel. Citrus fruit and pepper spice lurk in the background.

Finish

Long and warming with smoke and oak persisting. A trace of salt at the very end.

Frequently asked questions about Stauning Private Cask ROMMER Whisky.dk 6 Year 2010/2017

What does ROMMER mean?

ROMMER is the name given to this specific Private Cask, owned and matured by Whisky.dk. Individual names are assigned to each Private Cask to identify the unique barrel.

What does 6 years maturation bring to peated Stauning?

Six years brings better integration of smoke and oak than younger releases. The smoke is well-woven in, the cask sweetness has come forward, and the complexity is higher than in 3-4 year versions.

Is this whisky worth the investment?

As a 6-year-old single cask at cask strength 60.8%, owned by Whisky.dk and never re-released, this bottle combines rarity, age and clear provenance from a well-known Danish whisky producer.

How does Stauning's peated style differ from Scottish peated whisky?

Stauning uses West Jutland peat, producing a more green, herbal smoke rather than the medicinal, iodine-driven Islay style. It is a distinctly different smoke character rooted in Danish terroir.

What is a cask strength whisky?

Cask strength means the whisky is bottled directly from the barrel without dilution – here 60.8% ABV. A drop of water can open the softer notes behind the smoke.

How should I serve it?

Neat in a tulip glass. At 60.8%, a drop of water is recommended to open up the softer notes behind the smoke. Avoid ice, which can shut down the powerful smoke profile.
