OUR WHISKY REFLECTS OUR SURROUNDINGS: THE WATER, WIND, CROPS, SOIL, PEAT AND HEATHER.

Stauning whisky takes its name from the village we call home. Situated on a fjord on the west coast of Denmark, this is a place of big skies, wind, moorland, and miles of shifting dunes.

Like all great whiskies Stauning takes something from its surroundings and the people who live here, then distills it all into itself. This is a whisky which truly speaks of its origins, its terroir.

The openness of the huge skies, the driving freshness of wind, the clarity of the light, all are there, somehow, in the glass. Nowhere makes a whisky like this. No-one else can.

A Nordic whisky demon with Iberian blood fl owing through its veins. El Clásico is a rye whisky fi nished in vermouth casks. The result is a warm and intense taste of newly-harvested grains with a spicy and bittersweet aftertaste. A classic is born.

Who’s it For?
Stauning appeals to curious whisky drinkers on the hunt for innovation in whisky making and new flavour experiences. They are open-minded and explore all techniques, categories and expressions of whisky. They are just as happy tasting their fine whisky in an expertly made Penicillin cocktail.

Curious Fact
El Clásico is the third release in the Stauning Research Series: our distillery’s playground, where we free ourselves from traditions and make room for experiments and innovation.
El Clásico has aged for 3 years in American Virgin Oak and subsequently 1 year in old, Spanish Vermouth casks.
Vermouth has its name after wormwood (or “Wermut” in German) used as an ingredient in the liquor.

The wind from the North Sea mixes blood with the desert of Mexico in this double-distilled rye whisky aged in old mezcal casks. An illegal love affair with a gentle and exotic aftertaste.
