Stauning RØG - Smoked Double Malt Whisky

About the product 🥃
Stauning RØG is a smoked Danish double malt that treats smoke as a supporting note. It blends smoked single malt with malted rye, both made from locally grown rye and barley that is 100% floor-malted and kiln-dried over heather and peat at the distillery. The whisky is double distilled in 24 small copper pot stills heated over open fire, matured in new American oak and first-fill Madeira casks, and bottled at the distillery. It’s unfiltered, not chill-filtered and has no added colour, so a little sediment may appear. This is a new take on the earlier RØG, which was a smoked single malt. 43% vol, 70cl.

Tasting notes 👃
Soft campfire smoke and toasted grain on the nose. The palate brings mild stone fruit, caramelised oak and fine spice. It feels soft and rounded, and finishes with a light, lingering smokiness. Danish peat and heather from West Jutland give the smoke a calm, campfire character rather than a medicinal one, so it suits drinkers who want smoke without heavy peat.

About Stauning 🐾
Stauning is a Danish distillery in Skjern, on Denmark’s west coast, where grain fields and salty coastal air shape the landscape. It malts its own grain on the distillery floor, and the grain, water, peat and heather for RØG all come from local sources, so it’s a true terroir whisky. It has won gold at the 2026 World Whiskies Awards and the 2026 SFWSC. The distillery suggests a RØG Highball: 5 cl RØG, 15 cl chilled soda water, a large ice cube and a lemon peel.
