Single Cask whisky is a one-of-a-kind experience. Each cask is unique, with its own character, shaped by spirit, cask, environment, and the passage of time.
Sherry casks have always been held to a high regard among whisky drinkers – and we get why. Palo Cortado is one of the rarer sherry styles. It combines the elegance of Amontillado with the rich full-bodied structure of Oloroso.
The smoked rye spirit is made from locally sourced rye and barley, floor-malted in-house, and double distilled in direct-fire alembic pot stills. The craft approach is strong in Stauning. This smoked rye spirit is fully matured in the sherry cask - expect a complex whisky with notes of campfire, sweet tobacco, roasted nuts, dried fruits, and malty rye bread.
Flavour profile: A smoked rye whisky in a Palo Cortado cask offers a unique profile where the rye's bold spice and peppery grain meets the sherry's nutty elegance, resulting in a complex balance of savoury campfire or cigar smoke, roasted almonds and walnuts, dark dried fruits like fig and plum, and a refined, subtly dry, spicy finish with hints of freshly baked rye bread.

First payment: DKK 10,000
The purchase is split into two payments. The first payment will be deducted from your final invoice.
Second payment: calculated at bottling
When the whisky is ready to be bottled, the final invoice is calculated based on:
- the actual number of 70cl bottles yielded
- your chosen alcohol strength at bottling (ABV)
- your chosen maturation age
This means the final price is not fixed today. Whisky changes as it matures, and so does the final yield.
Estimated example: To make the pricing easier to understand, here is an example based on this cask - aged 5 years and bottled at Cask Strength (61,5 % vol.).
- Estimated yield: 65 bottles of 70cl at Cask Strength
- Estimated total price: DKK 49,319 (DKK 759 per bottle)
We calculate the final price based on a price per bottle, ensuring that you only pay for the yield. If the yield is significantly lower than expected - e.g. if the cask has leaked - you would only pay for the amount left in the cask.
Purchase your cask

- Bottle yield: Your final price is based on the actual number of bottles filled from the cask, meaning you only pay for the whisky that is bottled.
- ABV: If you choose a lower ABV, the whisky is diluted before bottling. This increases the number of bottles and may affect the final price slightly.
- Age: Minimum age is 3 years. Additional maturation fee adds DKK 65 per month to the total price. A higher age will expectedly reduce the final yield, as more liquid naturally evaporates over time.
- The Devils Cut: How much the cask absorbs - depends on the wood.
- The Angels' Share: The evaporation during maturation - depends on the climate/weather/cask.
If the yield is significantly lower than expected - this could be caused by a leak in the cask - we still calculate the price per bottle that reflects the amount left in the cask.

At Stauning, every cask begins the same way: grain-to-glass Danish whisky, crafted from locally grown rye and barley, 100% floor-malted and kiln-dried at the distillery, then double distilled in small direct-fired copper pot stills for depth.
We let maturation do its quiet work on-site, before bottling with natural colour and non-chill filtration to keep every detail intact.
