Stauning Smoke – World-class Danish whisky

Stauning Smoke Whisky is an impressive representative of newer Danish whisky culture – a single malt that celebrates both nature and craftsmanship. It is created by Stauning Distillery in windswept West Jutland, where they proudly combine traditional distillation with Danish innovation.

The whisky is made from 100% ground malted barley and smoked with heather and peat from local Jutland bogs – giving it a unique, earthy and characterful flavour that truly reflects the local terroir around Ringkøbing Fjord. Bottled at 47% and aged in an exciting combination of 1st fill Bourbon, Madeira and Jamaica rum casks, this is a complex and deep whisky that exudes dedication and care.

Aroma

Stauning Smoke opens up an aromatic journey with distinct notes of peat smoke and heather, closely followed by sweet honey and spicy warmth – a sensual introduction to the taste experience that awaits.

Taste

In the mouth it is both silky and sophisticated: Notes of soft smoke are combined with dark chocolate, tart citrus peel and a touch of tobacco. It is a harmonious combination where balance and finesse go hand in hand.

Finish

The aftertaste is long and persistent. A warm smoke emerges along with a pleasant sweetness and spicy undertones that linger on the palate like a well-written conclusion to a poetic work.

Stauning Smoke is a whisky that manages to embrace both the curious novice and the seasoned whisky lover. It's the kind of bottle you'll want to share and keep - a story in a bottle that wants something special.
