Stauning Floor Malted Rye Whisky Rye Design Edition
Danish Rye Whisky
£59.95
A Nordic rye whisky with dark and roasted aromas and a long fruity aftertaste. This is a different kind of rye whisky. The combination of malted rye and barley and pot still distillation makes this a smooth, fruity, and full-bodied whisky. Freshly baked rye bread, wine gums and hint of pepper on the nose. Gentle, dried fruit, ripe cherry, and peppery oak on the palate, balanced by vanilla and citrus peels, leading to a peppery finish and long smooth, fruity, and sweet finish. Matured for 3-4 years in new American oak barrels.
Design Edition: Starting with a bare bottle that features only a simple label, design your own bottle with stickers, drawings, doodles, whatever makes it your very own limited edition. Each bottle comes complete in a gift pack with a big sheet of stickers and a gold pen to get you started.
Outside the small village of Stauning, the team is making whisky the Stauning way: Local grains, floor malting and direct-fired small pot stills. That's how Stauning whisky best reflect the surroundings by the West Coast: the wind, the soil, the crops, the water, and the peat.
The Story of Stauning Whisky begins on a weekend trip in Denmark in May 2005. While enjoying a glass of single malt scotch whisky, four engineers, a teacher, a chef, a butcher, a pilot, and a doctor began to wonder why no one in Denmark makes whisky. The Danish climate, quality barley and pure water covers all the requirements. Therefore, nine friends started out on this new hobby, a hobby that soon became a full-time job. With different backgrounds being the distillery’s strength throughout the work involved in setting up the distillery right from scratch; Stauning Whisky is now the only active Danish whisky production that only uses malted Danish barley and malted Danish rye, while using copper pot stills for distillation. The team uses local Danish barley and rye, and they floor malt themselves. From great respect for the whisky production in Scotland, Stauning has chosen to follow their historical production principles. In this way, the team ensures that Stauning Whisky is truly unique. Both the only one of its kind, and a whisky with high quality, character, and history.
