Stauning El Clasico


The Nordic Manhattan: A Sophisticated Duel of Rye and Vermouth


Prepare for a "vibrant" encounter with Stauning El Clasico, a "bold statement" that bridges the gap between the rocky Jutland coast and the sun-drenched bodegas of Iberia. Inspired by the "iconic Manhattan cocktail," this "modern masterpiece" is a "spectacularly balanced" rye whisky that has been "engineered" for complexity through a finish in Spanish Vermouth casks.


It is a "stunning and functional" innovation that "transforms" the spicy, grain-forward character of Danish rye into a "bittersweet" and herbal experience. With an "unwavering commitment" to artisanal methods—including floor-malting and direct-fired stills—El Clasico is "as tough as it is stylish." It is the "perfect solution" for those who want the "sophisticated charm" of a world-class cocktail in a single, "luscious" pour.


The Build: Rye Spice & Vermouth Botanical Bloom


El Clasico is "built to impress," utilizing a "unique" maturation to "elevate the experience":




  • Malted Danish Rye: A "vibrant" base of local rye and barley, providing a "rich and thick" foundation of freshly baked bread and pepper.




  • Direct-Fired Distillation: Double-distilled in "high-energy" flame-heated pot stills to create a "bold" and "unctuous" texture.




  • Virgin American Oak (Initial Aging): Provides the "perfect foundation" with "sticky, sweet layers" of vanilla and toasted wood.




  • Spanish Vermouth Cask Finish: The "secret" to its "bittersweet" herbal notes, "transforming" the spirit with a "vibrant" botanical complexity.

Official Tasting Notes

Prepare your palate for a "luscious" and "aromatic" journey from the grain field to the herbal garden:

  • Nose: An "inviting" bouquet of warm spice and citrus. You’ll find "fragrant notes" of herbal botanicals, cinnamon, and the "vibrant" aroma of toasted rye bread.

  • Palate: A "full-bodied" and "expressive" entry. Look for "mounds of bittersweet herbs" harmonizing with dried fruits, sweet vanilla, and a "sophisticated charm" of peppery rye spice.

  • Finish: A sophisticated and "lasting" conclusion where the botanical bitterness of vermouth lingers alongside dark chocolate and a final, "vibrant" hint of citrus peel.
