The Stauning Smoke Batch 1-2020 is a distinguished offering from the Stauning Whisky Distillery in Denmark, a unique establishment founded by nine friends driven by an unwavering passion for crafting exceptional whisky. Known for their innovative spirit, the distillery employs locally sourced peat and heather to smoke their malted barley, and ages their whisky in a diverse array of first-fill casks, including bourbon, Madeira, Jamaican rum, and virgin American oak. This peated single malt whisky delivers a gentle smoky flavor and a complex character that mirrors the rugged landscapes of Denmark's North Sea region, including dunes, heath, and wind. Crafted from pure local ingredients, the whisky features malted barley that is floor-malted in-house and smoked over locally harvested peat and heather. Double-distilled in small, flame-heated pot stills, the Stauning Smoke Batch 1-2020 is then aged in first-fill casks, resulting in a robust and layered profile. Part of Stauning's new range, which also includes the Rye and Kaos editions, this whisky is presented in a stylish bottle with a black color gradient and a distinctive single-colored accent on the label. Notably, it is free of artificial coloring and chill filtration, maintaining the purity of its essence. The Stauning Smoke Batch 1-2020 boasts a rauchy aroma and taste, with delightful notes of heather, vanilla, honey, citrus fruits, tobacco, nuts, and a hint of Lagerfeuer. It's a versatile whisky that appeals to both novices and seasoned enthusiasts alike, making it a superb choice for any occasion, whether a warm summer evening or a cold winter night. The distillery recommends serving it in a highball glass with vanilla ice cream, coconut milk, and agave syrup, garnished with roasted coconut flakes.
