Stauning

In a remote village on the West Coast of Denmark, nine friends (a doctor, a chef, a butcher, a teacher, a helicopter pilot and four engineers) got together with two small pot stills and an old butchery.

The founders of Stauning Whisky started out with little in 2005. Least of all, any knowledge of whisky-making, but they shared passion, curiosity and desire to experiment and create.

They had the hidden potential of the land around them: The wind, the sea, the fields, the heather and the peat. And of course some of Denmark's finest water.

The rest as they say is history. Stauning's whiskies since launch have been winning acclaim and awards around the world.
