Distilling is a journey which starts in the field and ends in the spirit flowing from the still
Outside the small village of Stauning, we are making whisky the Stauning way: Local grains, floor malting and direct-fired small pot stills.Â
That's how our whisky best reflect the surroundings by the West Coast: the wind, the soil, the crops, the water and the peat.Â


Our new purpose-built distillery is Danish architecture at its finest: Clean, sharp angles, burned wood, glass and black metal. A modern interpretation of humble fishermen's huts: A reflection of the local community, the history and the tradition at which it is nestled, just like the whisky crafted inside.
Experience the journey first hand and taste the exquisite Danish whisky on our guided distillery tour

Once upon a time, nine friends got together in an old butchery...
The tale of how Stauning Whisky transformed itself from hobby project to world-famed whisky adventure, is a story of curiosity, inventiveness and downright West Coast stubbornness.
It all began when a gathering of friends got together to find out how to make the best whisky possible. Luckily, they entirely ignored the fact that they had no prior experience in whisky-making whatsoever.
You will find Stauning's sleek, new distillery a stone's throw away from the humble abattoir, where it all started in 2005.

We're not in it for the awards, but we sure don't mind taking some home.
