Staunching Bastard

Experience a unique encounter between the wild nature of the North Sea and the hot desert of Mexico in the groundbreaking Stauning Bastard . This exclusive rye whiskey combines West Jutland craftsmanship with Mexican inspiration and delivers a taste experience that is both powerful and refined.

Stauning Bastard is made from 100% West Jutland raw materials, floor malted and double-distilled over an open fire. The whisky is matured for 3 years in new American oak barrels before being rounded off with 6 months of aging in mezcal barrels from Oro de Oaxaca . This unique finish adds exotic notes and a subtle smokiness, making Bastard a whisky that challenges the norms and pushes the boundaries of what whisky can be.

The bottle is also decorated with an artistic design created by tattoo artist Thit Hansgaard (@thithittattoo), making it a visual pleasure as well as a taste experience.
