Denmark Exclusive - 70cl - ABV: 57,9%
Stauning’s Founder’s Choice collection pays tribute to our nine founders, each bringing a unique perspective to the world of whisky. This first release, “The Chef,” was crafted by Henning Svoldgaard, a former chef whose expertise in flavor combinations has shaped Stauning’s approach from the beginning.
Henning's culinary spirit led us to a rare finishing touch. This whisky has been aged in a bourbon cask and finished in an exceptional cask from “Giuseppe Giusti,” one of the oldest and most revered balsamic vinegar producers. The cask infuses the gently smoked single malt with a subtle, velvety sweetness, savory umami, and a complexity reminiscent of aged balsamic vinegars.
Produced in a small batch of only 189 bottles, this cask-strength release offers an experience that reflects both Henning’s culinary heritage and our commitment to quality craftsmanship.

From Denmark to Modena
Crafted with Tradition and Innovation
Henning’s journey to Italy’s Acetaia Giusti, a 400-year-old balsamic producer, became part of the whisky’s story. Drawn to the rich, layered flavors of their historic casks, Henning recognized a parallel between their approach and Stauning’s dedication to flavour and tradition. This connection deepened as he finalized the idea, blending his culinary insights with Giusti’s legacy.
Using 100% floor-malted local barley, smoked with Danish heather, this single malt embodies the rugged beauty of Denmark’s West Coast and the deep complexity of Modena’s balsamic tradition.
“Visiting Acetaia Giusti was an inspiring experience. Their commitment to their craft and their innovative approach to flavour resonate with what we strive for at Stauning.” – Henning Svoldgaard, Co-Founder.
