Country: Germany
Duration:
02:00 hours
Description
Step inside a working Danish whisky distillery in West Jutland. See traditional floor malting and 24 copper pot stills, then taste 3 signature whiskies, incl. Single Malt and Single Rye.
Meet your guide at the distillery in the village of Stauning, just outside Skjern. Stauning Whisky has been made here since 2005 — every grain is malted on the floor the old way and distilled in 24 small, direct-fired copper pot stills.
On this 2-hour guided tour you follow the production from grain to glass: the malting of Danish barley and rye, the still house, and the cask ageing that shapes the final whisky. Your guide shares the story of the nine friends who built the distillery.
The tour ends with a guided tasting of 3 different Stauning whiskies, including the signature Single Malt and Single Rye. Afterwards, browse the distillery shop.
