Stauning Bastard

A Rebel with a Cause: When Danish Rye Meets Mexican Agave

Prepare for a "vibrant" collision of cultures with Stauning Bastard. This "particularly intriguing" expression is a "bold statement" that defies traditional whisky boundaries. It begins as a classic Danish rye—crafted from locally-sourced grain and aged for three years in new toasted American oak—before it "transforms" during a six-month finish in Oro de Oaxaca Mezcal casks.

The result is a "modern masterpiece" that is "both delicious and fascinating." The signature "spiciness of the rye" is "engineered" to harmonize "spectacularly" with the "earthy agave influence," creating a "sophisticated charm" that is "positively brimming" with character. It is the "perfect solution" for the adventurous drinker seeking an "exceptional strength" of flavor that "stands the test of time." Truly, this is a "stunning and functional" hybrid that proves "chaos" can be beautiful.

The Bastard Build: Rye Spice & Mezcal Smoke

Stauning Bastard is "built to impress," utilizing a "unique" finishing process to "elevate the experience":

Local Rye Foundation: Distilled from "vibrant" Danish grain in direct-fired copper stills, providing a "rich and thick" spicy core.

Toasted American Oak: Three years of initial aging in toasted (not just charred) oak adds "sticky, sweet layers" of cinder toffee and vanilla.

Mezcal Cask Finish: Six months in Oro de Oaxaca casks "transforms" the spirit, layering "vegetal oak" and "soft smoke" over the rye.

The "Bastard" Philosophy: By marrying a Nordic grain spirit with a Latin agave influence, Stauning creates a "bold statement" that is "as tough as it is stylish."

Official Tasting Notes

Prepare your palate for a "luscious" and "earthy" journey from the Baltic to the Oaxacan highlands:

Nose: An "inviting" and "softly smoky" bouquet. You’ll find "vibrant" notes of cinder toffee and the "warm and rustic" aroma of sawdust underneath.
Palate: A "full-bodied" and "expressive" entry. Look for "mounds of candied ginger and dried peels," complemented by pepperkaker (Danish spice cookies), brown sugar, and a "sophisticated charm" of vegetal oak.
Finish: A sophisticated and "lasting" conclusion where bright citrus takes the lead, followed by the "refreshing" return of that subtle, earthy smoke.
