Stauning Whisky Smoke Single Malt Whisky

Produced by Stauning Whisky on Denmark’s west coast, Stauning Smoke is a gently peated Danish single malt made entirely from locally grown barley that is floor-malted at the distillery. The malt is kiln-smoked using locally sourced Danish peat and heather before being double distilled in small direct-fired copper pot stills. Matured for approximately five to six years across first-fill bourbon, Madeira, Jamaican rum and virgin American oak casks, it is bottled at 47% ABV and combines gentle bonfire smoke with orchard fruit, citrus, honey, tobacco and herbs.

Food Pairing: Smoked salmon, grilled pork, roasted nuts, mature cheeses, dark chocolate, or citrus desserts with honey.

Tasting Notes: Gently smoky and complex, balancing fresh orchard fruit and citrus with honeyed sweetness, tobacco, nuts, vanilla and aromatic wood smoke.

Nose: Fresh and aromatic, with gentle bonfire smoke accompanied by crisp orchard fruit, citrus and honeyed sweetness.

Palate: Rich and balanced, developing tobacco, nuts and vanilla alongside citrus, honey, fresh herbs and softly earthy peat smoke.

Finish: Lingering and gently smoky, with fresh herbs, sweet wood smoke, vanilla and subtle warming oak.

Serve: Enjoy neat at room temperature in a Glencairn or tulip-shaped glass; a small splash of water can help reveal its orchard fruit, honey and delicate peat-and-heather smoke.
