Stauning Rye Whisky

A liquid interpretation of freshly baked Danish rye bread. A Nordic rye whisky with dark and roasted aromas and a long fruity aftertaste. This is a different kind of rye whisky. The combination of malted rye and barley and double pot still distillation makes this a smooth, fruity, and full-bodied whisky.

Stauning Rye contains only floor malted rye and barley. Open-fired stills create complex and deep flavors thanks to the fact that a still heated this way will reach significantly higher temperatures (up to 650˚C / 1200˚F). This causes any solids in the wash to stick to the inner surface of the copper, in the same way as steak placed on a hot griddle pan will start to brown. This Maillard-type reaction inside the still will help to create a range of different flavor compounds, like chocolate, caramel, and roasted nuts.
