Stauning HØST - Double Malt Whisky

About the product 🥃
Stauning HØST is a soft, fruity and floral Danish double malt, made from an equal blend of Stauning’s barley single malt and its malted rye whisky. Both are made from 100% floor-malted Danish rye and barley from two local farmers, kiln-dried at the distillery and double distilled in 24 small copper pot stills heated over open fire. It matures in heavily charred new American oak and first-fill bourbon casks, with a touch of port casks, and is bottled at the distillery in Stauning. It’s unfiltered and not chill-filtered, so a little sediment may appear. The bottle has been redesigned in a minimalist Danish style, using less glass and fewer materials. 40.5% vol, 70cl.

Tasting notes 👃
A light, well-balanced sipping whisky with a smooth, fruity profile and floral undertones. Expect vanilla, citrus, apple, fresh hay, beeswax, pear and apricot, followed by red berries, cherry and dried fruit. Toasted oak, honey, caramel and full malty grain notes carry through, with a little warmth and subtle spice. A good entry point to Stauning’s whisky range, suited to newcomers and connoisseurs alike.

About Stauning 🐾
Stauning is a Danish distillery in Skjern, on Denmark’s west coast, and it malts its own grain on the distillery floor. The grain and water come from local land within a short cycle of the distillery. HØST is named for the harvest season that supplies the Danish grain, so every sip reflects the west coast terroir. It has won a SIP gold medal, and the distillery suggests an Apricot Danish Old Fashioned as a serve: 5 cl HØST, a spoonful of crème d’abricot and a spoonful of orgeat syrup, stirred over ice.
