About Stauning
Stauning was founded in 2005 on Denmark’s west coast by nine friends from outside the drinks industry, who began with two small pot stills in an old butcher’s shop in the village of Stauning. A major step followed in 2018, when the distillery opened its purpose-built new site, reflecting how far the project had grown from its early experimental beginnings.
Production remains central to Stauning’s identity. The distillery uses local Danish rye and barley, floor malts its grain in-house, and distils in 24 small direct-fired copper pot stills rather than moving to a more industrial setup. The range is built around both single malt and rye whisky, with a clear focus on grain-to-glass production and a style shaped by Denmark’s west coast setting rather than by Scotch imitation alone.
