Stauning
Stauning, founded by a diverse group of nine friends, is based in a small village on the west coast of Denmark. Their journey began in 2005, without any knowledge or experience in whiskey production, but with the desire to produce a great (Danish) whiskey. It wasn't until 2011 that the first bottles came onto the market. It is not an Old World whiskey, nor is it a New World whiskey. Stauning calls their whiskies 'Our World Whisky'. At the time of launch, there was a huge upsurge in local ingredients and artisan producers, and Stauning was immediately noticed. Even with a production of 80,000 liters, they were unable to meet this requirement, so they opened their newly built, special distillery in 2018. However, they have retained their ethics, and their barley is sourced locally.
With Stauning Smoke, their flagship smoked single malt whiskey, Stauning has created a terroir whiskey that they think will blow you away. While maintaining their New Nordic philosophy, this is a single malt whiskey made from pure barley malt from West Jutland that is malted in-house on the ground. It is then smoked with locally harvested peat and heather. This local origin gives Stauning Smoke a flavor that can only be found there. They use double distillation in small stills heated by flames, and once the entire process is complete, the whiskey ages in first-fill bourbon barrels, first-fill Madeira barrels, first-fill Jamaica rum barrels, and Virgin American oak barrels.
