Stauning Peat Smoked Single Malt – 20th Anniversary

Celebrate 20 years of Danish whisky magic with the 20th anniversary edition from Stauning, an exclusive limited edition. In 2005, nine friends started Denmark's first whisky distillery in Stauning, and now we pay tribute to the beginning with a Peat Smoked Single Malt.

This unique whisky combines 50% unsmoked and 50% peat-smoked malt, matured for at least 10 years, giving a full and complex flavour.

Only 2,005 bottles have been made – a sought-after collector's item and a true tribute to our origins and passion for Danish whisky.

Aroma

The fragrance opens with warm, sweet smoke, reminiscent of campfire smoke in a hot summer dune. This is followed by dark honey, dried fruits and a hint of leather and pine needles, which combine to create a complex aroma that you can't let go of.

Taste

The first taste impression is intense and creamy with a distinct amber sweetness balanced by deep, mineral peat smoke. Then, notes of dark chocolate, roasted nuts and a hint of salted caramel are revealed. The taste moves from robust to elegant with an unusual balance and depth, created by aging in first-fill bourbon and rum barrels.

The aftertaste is long, warm and inviting, leaving warm notes of black tea, smoke and dried herbs that dance on the tongue and linger like a long summer evening on the west coast.
