Stauning SMOKE Danish Single Malt Whisky 47% Vol. 0,7l

Stauning Smoke is the quintessence of the distillery's innovative New Nordic-whisky philosophy: A mildly smoked single malt whisky made from pure local ingredients, malted on open floors, smoked over locally harvested peat and heather found in the landscape surrounding Stauning, double-distilled in small flame-heated pot stills and finally aged on 1st Fill wine and spirits casks. 

The result is an elegant and refined whisky with a gentle smoky taste and a complex character that oozes of the dunes, the heath and the wind by the North Sea. A thoroughbred terroir whisky that gently will blow you away.

CURIOUS FACT

Peat is thousands of years old vegetation compressed into compact layers that can be burned as fuel.

In whisky-making it is used for its fragrant smoke, rather than for heat. The peat gets its character from the landscape composing it. That's why Stauning only uses peat from local bogs.

We blend the peat with dried heather harvested from the heathland by Ringkøbing Fjord. The heather provides the whisky with a mild and aromatic smoky fragrance.
