STOVT. An old Danish word for large and powerful. And yes – it suits the grain at the heart of this whisky. Thy Whisky No 13 STOVT is built on a historic Danish grain variety that was dominant in north Jutland agriculture before modern varieties took over.

Expert description

Thy Whisky No 13 STOVT is a Danish Single Malt Whisky bottled at 51% in a 50 cl bottle. Distilled and matured at Thy Whisky Distillery in Thy. STOVT refers to a historic Danish barley variety, traditionally characterised as large and robust in its cultivation. In whisky the STOVT grain contributes a heavier, more flavourful grain character than standard malting barley.

Bottled in a 50 cl bottle at 51% – close to cask strength territory. No 13 is a numbered edition in Thy Whisky's series of experiments with local and historic grain varieties.

Tasting notes

Nose

Heavy and grain-rich with a little chocolate, light nut and a deep malt sweetness. More substantial than the standard Core Expressions.

Palate

Robust and malt-sweet with clear grain fullness, light pepper and brown sugar. More powerful profile than the lighter expressions.

Finish

Long with good malt sweetness and light warmth. Persistent and satisfying.

The STOVT barley was once an important crop on the Jutland fields. With the industrialisation of agriculture it disappeared in favour of higher-yielding but flavourwise more uniform varieties. Thy Whisky helps rediscover what Danish grain can actually taste like.

REX. The King. Thy Whisky's No 16 is named after the Latin word for majesty – and not without reason. This whisky is the distillery's absolute flagship: the distillery's best cask, the distillery's highest ambition.

KORNMOD. It is about the grain – not just as a raw material, but as identity. Thy Whisky No 18 KORNMOD is made from a special and ancient Danish grain modification that carries far more character than modern malting barley.

Expert description

Thy Whisky No 18 KORNMOD is a Danish Single Malt Whisky bottled at 47.3% in a 70 cl bottle. Distilled and matured at Thy Whisky Distillery in Thy. KORNMOD refers to the use of a traditional Danish grain modification – a historic barley variety with roots in Nordic agricultural tradition. The distillery are pioneers in bringing these rare grain varieties back into whisky production and exploring what they contribute to the flavour profile.

47.3% is an approachable strength for a single malt with a complex starting point. KORNMOD speaks to the enthusiast and the historically interested whisky lover – a bottle that tastes different because the grain is different.

Tasting notes

Nose

Fresh and grain-expressive with light herbs, soft fruit and an earthy, almost grass-inspired freshness.

Medium. KORNMOD is a rare contribution to the whisky world's interest in heritage grains. Limited numbered Thy Whisky releases have shown growing interest from collectors.

Did you know?

The KORNMOD barley variety is not used in commercial large-scale production. It requires hand malting and works best in small-batch distillation where its characteristics are not drowned out by industrial processes.

MALTMOD. Another of Thy Whisky's experiments with what grows in the north Jutland fields. No 20 Maltmod explores what a traditional Danish malt modification contributes when distilled and matured at Thy Whisky Distillery.

Expert description

Thy Whisky No 20 Maltmod is a Danish Single Malt Whisky bottled at 53.4% in a 70 cl bottle. Distilled and matured at Thy Whisky Distillery in Thy. MALTMOD refers to a Danish malt modification – a historic grain variety with a distinct enzymatic and flavour profile that differs from modern malting barley. The 20th number in Thy Whisky's numbered series.

53.4% places No 20 Maltmod as a middleweig ht: strong enough to carry its grain character, but not so high that it overwhelms. Bottled without chill filtration and with natural colour.

Tasting notes

Nose

Fresh and grain-expressive with honey, light herbs and a softer, more rounded malt dimension than standard single malt.

Palate

Soft and malt-sweet with good fullness. The malt modification gives a slightly fresher and lighter grain character than STOVT or standard malt. Pleasant complexity.

Moderate with clean malt sweetness and a little oak. Persistent and pleasant.

Eight years. That is what it takes to get Thy Whisky's single malt to this point. No 24 is the distillery's oldest release in the core line – and the proof of what time and north Jutland climate can do to certified organic barley.

Expert description

Thy Whisky No 24 – 8 years is a Danish Organic Single Malt Whisky bottled at 52.1% in a 50 cl bottle. Distilled and matured at Thy Whisky Distillery in Thy from certified organic single estate barley. No 24 refers to the serial number in the distillery's numbered release line. Eight years in a cask in a northwest Jutland climate gives a whisky with depth and complexity that places Thy Whisky No 24 in a class of its own within Danish whisky.

At 52.1% ABV, No 24 is bottled at a strength that lets the cask and distillate character express itself without excessive alcohol presence. A remarkable bottle for anyone who wants to understand what eight years does to the finest expressions from Thy.

Tasting notes

Nose

Rich and mature with dried fruit, vanilla, honey and light oak bitterness. Eight years is clearly felt.

Palate

Complex and layered with dark fruit, malt, oak and light spices. Finely balanced and persistent.

Oloroso. The dry, nutty sherry classic. Thy Whisky Oloroso Shared Cask No 442 is a Danish single malt finished in an Oloroso sherry cask and bottled directly from the cask without dilution.

Expert description

Thy Whisky Oloroso Shared Cask No 442 is a Danish Single Malt Whisky bottled at cask strength 60.1% in a 50 cl bottle. Distilled and matured at Thy Whisky Distillery in Thy. Oloroso is one of the classic dry sherry types with characteristic nutty aromas, oak and dark fruit. Cask No. 442 is a Shared Cask – bottled for a group of private co-cask owners.

The Oloroso cask and the north Jutland distillate meet in an interesting contrast: the distillate's fresh, malt-based character confronted with the sherry cask's dry, nutty depth. The result is a more complex and structured whisky than the distillery's un-cask-influenced expressions.

Tasting notes

Nose

Dry and nutty with walnut, light chocolate, a little oak and a soft fruitiness in the background. The Oloroso character is clear.

Palate

Complex and structured with dry nuts, malt base, light pepper and the sherry cask depth. Drier than the PX variant. Very satisfying.

Long and nutty with light dryness and oak. Striking and persistent.

Did you know?

Oloroso is one of the oldest and most well-known sherry types. The name means "fragrant" in Spanish, and Oloroso sherry oxidises during maturation – unlike Fino and Manzanilla, which mature under a protective layer of yeast. This gives the dry, nutty and complex character that whisky enthusiasts love in Oloroso casks.

The predecessor to the 2025 vintage. Thy Whisky PX & Oloroso 2024 is the same series – the same concept – but its own vintage batch with its unique sherry character and a different strength choice of 49.5%.

Expert description

Thy Whisky PX & Oloroso 2024 is a Danish Single Malt Whisky bottled at 49.5% in a 70 cl bottle. Distilled and matured at Thy Whisky Distillery in Thy. The whisky is finished on a combination of Pedro Ximenez and Oloroso sherry casks, bottled without chill filtration and with natural colour. PX & Oloroso is an annual release – each year is a new batch with its own character. The 2024 vintage is bottled at a gentler strength than 2025 and with its own flavour profile.

49.5% is a gentle strength for a finished single malt and gives broader accessibility. Suits those who want the sweet/nutty sherry combination in a more subdued format.

When PX meets Oloroso – sweetness and nuttiness in the same glass. Thy Whisky PX & Oloroso 2025 is the latest edition of the distillery's popular sherry-blended single malt: an annually renewed expression at an accessible price point.

Expert description

Thy Whisky PX & Oloroso 2025 is a Danish Single Malt Whisky bottled at 51.5% in a 70 cl bottle. Distilled and matured at Thy Whisky Distillery in Thy.

51.5% is a good strength for this expression and lets the sherry characters come through with full force. Accessible for the broad whisky enthusiast, but complex enough to interest the experienced.

Tasting notes

Spelt and rye from the northwest Jutland fields. Thy Whisky Spelt Rye takes whisky in an unexpected direction – away from classic barley and into a grain world that suits the north Jutland climate best.

Expert description

Thy Whisky Spelt Rye Core Expressions is a Danish Organic Rye Whisky bottled at 48.5% in a 70 cl bottle. Distilled from a blend of certified organic spelt and rye – both grown locally in Thy. Floor-malted and double distilled in-house. Spelt and rye give a markedly different flavour picture than a traditional barley single malt – more spiced, more earthy and with a complexity that surprises.

Spelt is an ancient grain with roots in north European agricultural tradition. In whisky it adds a nutty and slightly sweet dimension that complements the rye's natural spiciness.

Tasting notes

Nose

Spiced and lightly nutty with rye bread and a little citrus. More earthy than the standard Core Expressions.

The same abandoned railway tunnel beneath Hiroshima that gives Togouchi's older releases their calm also lays the foundation for this 12 year old.

361 metres beneath the streets of Hiroshima lies an old railway tunnel where Togouchi lets its whisky sleep in constant cold and darkness until it's ready.

Expert Description

Togouchi 18 Year Old is a Japanese Blended Whisky, bottled at 43.8%.

Long and soft, with a last note of honey.
