  Thornæs 1st Release Organic Danish Single Malt Whisky 50 cl 50.9%

  Item no.: 22278333-7412

  One day there was no Thornæs 1st Release. Then there was. That is how it feels with the first bottles from a new distillery – and Thornæs Distillery in North Zealand's 1st Release is exactly that: the beginning.

  Expert description

  Thornæs 1st Release is an organic Danish Single Malt Whisky bottled at 50.9% from Thornæs Distillery in North Zealand. It is the distillery's very first official whisky release – the historic bottle that marks the moment a distillery goes from being new to having a history. Thornæs is an organic distillery in North Zealand working with local ingredients and small batch production. The 1st Release came in 50 cl at 50.9% – a clean, naturally bottled expression from the first casks. As a 1st Release, the bottle is now historic for everyone following Danish whisky.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Fresh and organic with the clear North Zealand distillate at the centre. Lightly fruity with the imprint of organic grain and early maturation.

  Palate

  50.9% gives body and weight. The early maturation is noticeable, but the distillate quality is clear – clean, fruity and with potential for what comes after in the distillery's future releases.

  Finish

  Fresh and relatively short – a young distillery's signature rather than long maturation.

  High. A 1st Release from a distillery is by definition a rare historic bottle – there is no second first release. Thornæs 1st Release is the bottle that marks the start of an organic Danish distillery, and it is no longer in production.

  Did you know?

  First releases from new distilleries tend to rise in collector value over time – not necessarily because the whisky is the best bottle the distillery will ever make, but because they represent a unique historic moment. Thornæs 1st Release is the very concrete proof that one day, organic whisky started being distilled in North Zealand.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Young, fresh and organic – clearly North Zealand malt with fruity tones and a light sweetness from the grain. This is a distillate that shows potential rather than long maturation.

  Palate

  50.5% gives body without overwhelming. Lightly fruity and grainy with a purity that typically characterises young organic distillates.

  Shorter and fresh – a young expression with the imprint of organic grain.

  Did you know?

  Thornæs 2nd Release came just three years after distillation. That is a short maturation period for whisky – but for a young Danish distillery, the first releases are more about showing what the style is than delivering a fully matured expression. The 2nd Release is a historical document from Thornæs's early years.

  Thornæs Chestnut Double Cask Organic Single Malt Danish Whisky 70 cl 49.4%

  Item no.: 0595566-77423

  Chestnut is not the first wood you think of in a whisky context. But Thornæs Distillery from North Zealand has made it work in their favour: Chestnut Double Cask combines the chestnut cask with another cask type for an organic Danish expression at 49.4%.

  Expert description

  Thornæs Chestnut Double Cask is an organic Danish Single Malt Whisky bottled at 49.4% from Thornæs Distillery in North Zealand. The whisky has been matured in chestnut casks as part of a double cask process – a combination of two cask types that is rare in Danish whisky. Chestnut casks are traditionally used for wine in southern Europe and give notes of warm nutty spiciness and a fresh, natural fruitiness. Thornæs is an organic distillery in North Zealand producing small batch single malt whisky with a focus on local ingredients.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Warm nuts and light fruitiness from the chestnut cask. A fresh, somewhat unconventional and interesting nose with grain base from the organic malt.

  Palate

  Round and soft at 49.4% with the chestnut cask's natural nutty spiciness and a light sweetness. The double cask maturation adds complexity and a slightly fruity dimension.

  Finish

  Medium long with warm nutty character and a fresh, light close.

  Did you know?

  Chestnut casks are far rarer in whisky than oak, sherry or bourbon. They are used primarily in Spain, France and Italy for wine and brandy – and give a natural spiciness and nutty character that differs markedly from oak. Thornæs is one of the few Danish distilleries experimenting with chestnut casks in a double cask context.

  Thornæs Whisky The 5 Pedros Cask 064 Organic Single Malt Danish Whisky 70 cl 50%

  Item no.: 0595566-79999

  Five PX casks. Five stories. Fad 064 is its own – and no cask's version is identical to another's. Thornæs Distillery from North Zealand reveals that Pedro Ximenez never says the same thing twice.

  Expert description

  Thornæs The 5 Pedros Fad 064 is an organic Danish Single Malt Whisky bottled at 50% from Thornæs Distillery in North Zealand. The whisky is part of The 5 Pedros series – five individual Pedro Ximenez sherry casks bottled separately to showcase the difference from cask to cask within the same cask type. Fad 064 carries its individual PX character: the intense sweetness of raisins and dark fruit combined with the freshness of the organic North Zealand distillate. Bottled without dilution at 50%.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  PX sherry's typical raisin and dark chocolate notes with a fresh underpinning from the organic distillate. Slightly different from Fad 066 – the sister cask.

  Palate

  Rich and fruity PX sweetness at 50% with figs and dried fruit. The single cask quality gives it a unique personality that belongs only to this cask.

  Finish

  Long and dark with dried fruit and a persistent, deep PX chocolate close.

  Investment potential

  Medium. Single cask from a small Danish distillery in limited quantity – and Fad 064 only exists in this cask's volume.

  Did you know?

  The difference between Fad 064 and Fad 066 is not just a number. Even though both are PX casks from The 5 Pedros and meet the same distillate, each cask will have left its own imprint – slightly different colour, slightly different intensity, a subtle difference in fruit nuances. That is the essence of single cask whisky: each cask is an island unto itself.

  Thornæs Whisky The 5 Pedros Cask 066 Organic Single Malt Danish Whisky 70 cl 50%

  Item no.: 0595566-79998

  Five casks. Five Pedro Ximenez. One number on each. Thornæs has chosen to bottle them individually – and Fad 066 is one of the five. An organic Danish single malt at 50% from North Zealand.

  Expert description

  Thornæs The 5 Pedros Fad 066 is an organic Danish Single Malt Whisky bottled at 50% from Thornæs Distillery in North Zealand. The whisky is part of The 5 Pedros series – five individual Pedro Ximenez sherry casks bottled separately, so the flavour differences from cask to cask stand clearly. Fad 066 is the individual cask with its unique imprint of PX sherry's characteristic sweetness: raisins, dark chocolate and dried fruit. It is bottled without dilution at 50% and comes from Thornæs Distillery's focus on transparency and single cask expressions.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  PX sherry with raisins, dark chocolate and dried fruit. The organic grain base lifts the heavy PX sweetness slightly and gives freshness.

  Palate

  Full-bodied PX sweetness at 50% with figs, dark plums and a warm spiciness from the oak and PX cask. The single cask character gives a unique individuality that sets it apart from batched whiskies.

  Finish

  Long and rich with dried fruits and a dark, chocolatey close.

  Medium. Single cask bottlings from small Danish distilleries in limited numbers are by definition rare – and The 5 Pedros Fad 066 exists in one cask's volume and no more.

  Did you know?

  The 5 Pedros is Thornæs Distillery's investigation of what happens when five identical Pedro Ximenez casks meet the same distillate – but are bottled separately. The idea is to show that even one cask type never delivers exactly the same result twice. Fad 066 is one of these unique stories.

  Thornæs Åro Danish Single Malt New Spirit 20 cl 58%

  Item no.: 22227865479-1106-19574

  Before the cask. Before the maturation. Thornæs Åro is the pure distillate – what will become whisky when it meets oak. A 20 cl new make at 58% from North Zealand for those who want to understand the starting point.

  Expert description

  Thornæs Åro is a Danish Single Malt Raw Spirit bottled at 58% from Thornæs Distillery in North Zealand. It is an unaged new make – the distillate in its purest form before cask maturation. Raw spirit as a category is interesting to taste because it gives a clear picture of what the organic North Zealand malt distillate is made of: grain, water and fermentation. No cask has yet left its mark. The bottle comes in 20 cl – a good format for tasting and for the curious whisky drinker who wants to learn Thornæs from the ground up. The name Åro likely refers to a part of Thornæs Distillery's identity or terroir in North Zealand.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Fresh and grainy – the organic malt is clear. Sweetish grain notes, perhaps a touch of peach, and a purity that only belongs to unaged new make spirit.

  Palate

  58% gives warmth and intensity. Grain and yeast are central – a clear and precise flavour without cask influence. Interesting to taste if you are used to aged whisky, as the contrast is significant.

  Finish

  Warm and clear with the organic grain's clean imprint. No cask character, no maturation influence.

  Did you know?

  Raw spirit – also called new make or white dog – is the very foundation of all whisky. What separates it from whisky is maturation alone. Tasting raw spirit like Thornæs Åro gives a unique insight into what a distillery works with from day one – and what happens when oak and time leave their mark.
