Reviving traditional methods lost to industrialization, Stauning whiskies are all made from local grain that is floor malted in-house.

Distillation takes place in 24 small copper pot stills – under each of them scorching fire burns. These stills produce whiskies whose deep flavours reflect the surrounding landscape of the Danish West Coast. In 2018 Stauning Whisky moved into its new distillery. A structure with a dramatic silhouette and innovative engineering, that draws upon decades of classic Danish design and architecture.

Its sharp angles crafted from burnt timber, mirror the old fishermen’s huts it shares the coast with. Stauning Whisky uses only local barley and rye all of which is floor-malted in-house using methods that draws upon centuries of whisky-making knowhow and tradition – but with a twist of Stauning ingenuity and innovation.

Direct-firing the distillery’s 24 copper pot stills helps to create complex and deep flavours and adds weight and character to Stauning’s whiskies. It’s difficult and expensive, but it’s totally worth it.
