About Stauning Whisky A/S
Stauning Whisky, known for its Danish craftsmanship, combines traditional methods with modern innovation. We are dedicated to creating exceptional whisky experiences and value diversity, innovation, and quality.
At Stauning, our approach is deeply rooted in the principles that have long defined the quality and beauty of Danish things — simplicity, being close to nature, craftsmanship and an unwavering commitment to quality.
Our whisky is a product of intention and design. Stauning is where craftsmanship transcends the ordinary and becomes an enduring art form.
Stauning Whisky is the result of an unusual experiment. They were nine friends from very different backgrounds who came together to share a common curiosity and decided to push the boundaries of whisky making.
In 2009, they started production and have since won several prestigious awards.
Stauning Whisky has revived the traditional craft methods that disappeared with modern whisky production, using only locally grown grain, which floor malt at the distillery and distill in small copper pot stills over an open fire.
In 2018, Stauning Whisky moved into a newly built distillery. A building filled with innovative engineering and a dramatic expression that draws on decades of tradition of classic Danish design and architecture. Stauning Whisky is growing, with sales in new countries, which means changes are part of everyday life. Our values are Passion, Authenticity, Decency and not least Financial Responsibility.
