Stauning Whisky Lands in Waitrose Stores Nationwide
We are proud to announce that Stauning HØST, the flagship of our Danish whisky portfolio, is now available in 126 Waitrose stores nationwide and online at Waitrose.com.
This marks a significant milestone for Stauning, as our double malt - Stauning HØST becomes our first whisky to be listed in one of the UK’s leading premium retailers. The introduction of HØST to Waitrose not only strengthens our presence in the UK but also brings our unique Danish whisky to a broader audience. Whether you’re a whisky enthusiast or just starting your journey, Høst is designed to be enjoyed by everyone.
Retailing at £47, HØST has quickly become a standout choice for whisky lovers. Crafted to reflect the essence of our Danish homeland, it combines smoothness, balance, and a rich depth of flavor that has already captured hearts in the UK since its launch in April 2024.
Bringing Our Rye Whisky to a New Audience
"We are incredibly excited to share HØST with the wider public through Waitrose," says Alex Munch, co-founder of Stauning Whisky. "This partnership is an important step in our journey to bring Stauning's story to more people. As a brand rooted in Danish tradition and innovation, launching in one of the UK's most respected retailers feels like a perfect match."
HØST, meaning "Harvest" in Danish, reflects the beauty of Denmark's natural landscape, from the fields of West Jutland to the distillery where we bring this unique spirit to life. Aged in first-fill bourbon and heavily charred new American white oak casks, then finished in first-fill port barriques, HØST delivers a fruit-forward profile with floral undertones, perfect for sipping neat or in cocktails.
Introducing the Stauning Elder’s Fizz Cocktail
Stauning HØST is more than just a whisky – it’s a tribute to Denmark's harvest season. From its smooth notes of vanilla, honey, and toffee, to the aromatic finish of oak and spice, HØST is a versatile whisky designed to elevate your favorite cocktails. One of our favorites is the Stauning Elder’s Fizz, a refreshing and floral cocktail that celebrates the essence of Danish wildflowers.
