Stauning - Smoked R.Y.E. (Rye) Porter Beer Cask - Danish Whisky - 0.7L

Stauning Smoked R.Y.E. – Porter Beer Cask Finish

This distillate, originating from the Danish distillery Stauning, balances deep-rooted tradition with a bold, modern approach to whisky culture. It is a liquid testament to how the symbiosis of local craftsmanship and creative experimentation can produce a unique character.

Danish Craftsmanship and the Symbiosis with Brewing

At the Stauning distillery in West Jutland, craftsmanship is celebrated in its most original form. For this Rye Whisky, local rye and barley are used, traditionally floor-malted and subtly smoked over Danish peat and heather. Distillation takes place in small, direct-fired copper pot stills, before the spirit first matures in virgin American oak and finally receives its distinctive finish in Porter beer casks from the Danish craft brewery To Øl.

A Play of Smoke, Roasted Notes, and Dark Sweetness

In the glass, the limited Studio Edition presents itself in a deep amber hue, reflecting the intensity of the cask aging. The bouquet captivates with a complex interplay of dark chocolate, roasted coffee, and brown sugar, carried by a delicate, floral veil of smoke. On the palate, a creamy texture unfolds, combining aromas of dried fruits, ripe cherries, and orange zest with a spicy note of pepper and the bitterness of cocoa.

A Characterful Companion for Discerning Moments

With a robust 51.4% ABV and no chill-filtration, this whisky preserves its full aromatic depth and a waxy mouthfeel. It is an explicit recommendation for connoisseurs who seek something special and appreciate the combination of hearty roasted aromas and classic rye spice. We recommend enjoying it neat at room temperature to fully experience the subtle nuances of heather and tobacco that distinguish this edition, limited to 2,500 bottles.
