Stauning Private Cask Rum West Indies Cask Finish 2020/2026 Danish Rye Whisky 50%

Stauning Private Cask Rum West Indies Cask Finish is a Danish rye whisky where classic craftsmanship meets warm West Indian rum traditions. The whisky is made from 100% floor‑malted Danish rye and barley from local farms and produced according to Stauning’s grain‑to‑glass philosophy, where traditional methods and attention to detail shape the final character.

The whisky begins its maturation with 1.5 years in new American oak casks, adding structure, vanilla and spice. It is then transferred to a first‑fill West Indies rum cask for an additional 4.5 years. West Indian rum casks are known for their depth and tropical profile, and here they contribute notes of ripe fruit, warm spices, citrus and roasted nuts.

This long double maturation creates a whisky that is both spicy, fruity and smooth. You’ll find subtle layers of vanilla, cinnamon, apricot and ripe banana, beautifully balanced with the natural spice of the rye and the warm sweetness from the rum influence. The result is a Danish rye whisky with a clear tropical edge and plenty of personality.

Stauning Peated Private Cask Whisky.dk is a rare and powerful Danish whisky created in close collaboration between Whisky.dk and Stauning Whisky. It is a whisky with strong character, high intensity and clear peat smoke – an experience for those seeking depth, authenticity and a unique cask influence.

The whisky was distilled in October 2010 and matured in a small 32‑liter American oak cask previously used for sherry. The cask had also held rum and whole plums, which were emptied before Stauning’s new‑make spirit was filled in. This gives the whisky an extra layer of fruitiness, sweetness and complexity not found in standard releases. The small cask size intensifies the maturation and results in a deep dark amber color.

The whisky is bottled at full cask strength at 60.8%, completely non‑chill filtered and with no added color. Only 44 bottles were produced, making it a true limited edition for collectors and enthusiasts.

In the glass you meet a full‑bodied and smoky profile with Stauning’s characteristic Danish peat. The previous rum and plum influence adds deep notes of dark fruit, warm spices, oak and a natural sweetness that balances the dry smoke. The finish is long, warm and intense, exactly as expected from a whisky drawn straight from the cask.

Note: The whisky is unfiltered, so natural sediment may occur.

Stauning RØG Smoked Double Malt Danish Whisky 70 cl 43%

Stauning RØG is Stauning Whisky’s own Danish interpretation of a smoked whisky – a style that does not try to imitate the heavy, medicinal smoke profiles of Scotland, but instead creates its own expression built on subtlety, balance and depth. The smoke is present from the very first aroma, yet it never dominates. It is designed to elevate the whisky rather than overpower it, resulting in an elegant Nordic smoke profile that leaves room for grain, cask character and fruit.

The whisky is rooted in Stauning’s West Jutland surroundings, where grain fields, sea air and heather‑covered landscapes set the tone. RØG is a double malt made from both malted barley and malted rye – 100% floor‑malted at the distillery and grown locally, all within cycling distance. The grain is kiln‑dried and smoked on site using a combination of Danish peat and heather, giving the whisky its characteristic soft campfire smoke and natural, earthy warmth. Distillation takes place in Stauning’s 24 small, direct‑fired copper pot stills, which produce a rich, oily and grain‑forward spirit.

Maturation primarily takes place in new American oak casks, adding structure, vanilla, caramelised oak and warm spices. A final finish in Madeira casks rounds the whisky off with soft fruit, gentle sweetness and added complexity. This combination gives RØG its distinctive balance between smoke, fruit and wood.

On the nose, you are met with gentle campfire smoke, roasted grain and a warm, inviting sweetness. The palate opens with mild stone fruits, caramelised oak and delicate spices, while the rye contributes a subtle spiciness and a full, rounded mouthfeel. The finish is lightly smoky, persistent and pleasantly smooth, with a gentle warmth that lingers without becoming heavy.

Stauning RØG is a whisky that demonstrates how Danish terroir, local ingredients and craftsmanship can create a smoke profile that is both recognisable and entirely its own. It is less massive than classic peated whiskies, but more balanced, more grain‑driven and distinctly Nordic in character. A whisky for those who love smoke – and for those who want to discover a new way of experiencing it.

This Limited Studio Edition is not only a new style but also the debut of Stauning’s redesigned bottle, which will be rolled out across the entire range.

The whisky is made from floor-malted Danish rye and barley, dried with local peat and heather from West Jutland.

Stauning Smoked R.Y.E. | Porter Beer Cask

Stauning Smoked R.Y.E. | Porter Beer Cask is a limited‑edition release of Stauning’s smoked rye whisky, finished for the first time in porter beer casks. The whisky is made from locally grown West Jutland rye and barley, floor‑malted and kiln‑dried at the distillery, and smoked with Danish peat and heather. This creates a natural Nordic smoke profile where the grain character stands out clearly: spicy rye, soft malt and an elegant, gentle smoke.

The whisky is first matured in heavily charred American virgin oak casks, adding depth, sweetness and structure. It is then finished in porter beer casks from the acclaimed Danish brewery To Øl. These casks enhance roasted notes such as coffee, dark chocolate, brown sugar and dried fruit, without overshadowing the warm rye spice or the mild peat‑and‑heather smoke. The result is a full‑bodied, creamy and harmonious whisky with a distinct “malt‑on‑malt” profile.

On the nose you’ll find roasted malt, vanilla and campfire smoke. The palate is rich and rounded with rye bread, beeswax and orange peel, followed by ripe cherries, dark chocolate and warm spices. The finish is long and warming with plum, raisins, brown sugar, coffee and a hint of golden tobacco, balanced by fresh rye spice and gentle smoke.

Stauning Smoked R.Y.E. | Porter Beer Cask is a limited edition of only 10 casks and a total of 2500 bottles. A rare chance to experience Stauning’s smoked rye whisky in a deeply malted, beer‑inspired expression.

Stauning Traditional Oloroso Cask 2010/2013 – Danish Single Malt Whisky

Stauning Traditional Oloroso Cask 2010 is a truly special whisky in a Danish context. It was distilled in 2010 and bottled in 2013, making it a young whisky of just 3 years. Nevertheless, it surprises with a complexity and richness normally associated with much older releases. With an alcohol strength of 52.8% and a limited edition of only 554 numbered bottles, this is an exclusive and collectible release.

The whisky is produced by Stauning Distillery, pioneers of Danish whisky. This edition marks the first Stauning Single Malt matured in Oloroso sherry casks, and it was officially released on November 27, 2013. Stauning is known for working with small batch sizes, craftsmanship, and an uncompromising approach to quality, which is clearly reflected in this bottling.

The whisky has undergone an Oloroso Cask Finish, meaning its final maturation took place in sherry casks. This has a pronounced influence on both aroma and flavor, with sherry notes standing out clearly. Despite its young age, the whisky appears rich, full-bodied, and with a maturity that feels far older than three years in cask.

The nose opens with sweetness and spice. Vanilla and pepper are immediately noticeable, bringing freshness and warmth. Notes of chocolate and dried fruit follow, adding depth and richness to the bouquet. The sherry influence is evident, lending a vinous character that balances the youthful freshness.

On the palate, the whisky is sweet, spicy, and full-bodied. It has a rich texture that suits the complex layers of flavor. Vanilla and pepper reappear, while chocolate and dried fruit provide an intense and harmonious taste experience. The combination of sweetness and spice makes the whisky lively and engaging, with the sherry cask adding elegant depth.

The finish is long and persistent, balancing sweetness and spice. The youthful freshness is complemented by sherry notes, creating a rounded and pleasant conclusion.

Stauning Traditional Oloroso Cask 2010/2013 is a milestone in Danish whisky history. As the first Stauning release with an Oloroso Cask Finish, it demonstrates how even a young whisky can deliver great complexity and character. With only 554 bottles released, it is both a rare collector’s item and a rewarding experience for the passionate whisky enthusiast eager to explore Danish craftsmanship at the highest level.
