A Bold Union of Danish Smoke and Tawny Port
Elevating rye whisky to a refined crafted characterful spirit
Since 2015, Stauning has produced grain-to-glass Danish whisky from rye and barley grown a bicycle-ride away from the distillery, a place of absolute tranquillity, on the West Coast of Denmark.
By returning to the simplicity of its three ingredients – grain, yeast, and water – Stauning Whisky harnesses nature to capture the essence of its home whilst celebrating the collective effort involved in its creation.
Visit the Distillery on Denmark’s West Coast
Blending a mix of old and new-world methods, Stauning whiskies are made from local grain and floor-malted in-house in
our purpose-built distillery. Distillation takes place in 24 small copper pot stills which are direct-fired to create complex flavours, adding weight and character to the whiskies.
Stauning is committed to creating whisky that showcases the elegance and beauty of nature, and each sip of this whisky is a taste of the tranquil terroir of Denmark.
Nine friends setting out to make a difference
Founded by a group of nine friends with a passion for whisky, who wanted to push the boundaries of whisky-making and create expressions reflective of their heritage with distinct Danish character, each bottle of Stauning is produced in the same spirit of collaboration, grounded in the humility and conviction of a community that understands the power of working as one.
Stauning invites drinkers into a new world of whisky that captures both heritage and modernity with a unique taste and character designed in Denmark.
