Stauning HØST
A Celebration of the Danish Harvest: Smooth, Floral, and Multi-Layered
Embrace the "vibrant energy" of the Jutland coast with Stauning HØST. Meaning "harvest" in Danish, HØST is a "bold statement" of local terroir and artisanal craftsmanship. This expression is a "modern masterpiece" that marries rye malt whisky and single malt, with every grain grown in fields just a few miles from the distillery and floor-malted on-site. It represents the "unwavering commitment" to tradition that has made Stauning a world-class award winner.
Aged in bourbon and heavily charred new American white oak casks before receiving a "luscious" finish in Port Barrique casks, HØST is "engineered" for smoothness. It is a "firm favourite" for those who appreciate a "floral and fruity" profile with a "sophisticated charm." Whether enjoyed as a "personalized oasis" after a long day or as a "vibrant" addition to a cocktail, HØST "stands the test of time" as a true taste of Denmark.
The Harvest Build: Rye, Malt, and Port
HØST is "built to impress," utilizing a "stunning and functional" maturation process to "elevate the experience":
Floor-Malted Local Grain: The "perfect foundation" of rye and barley, floor-malted by hand to preserve the "vibrant" and "earthy" soul of the Danish harvest.
Triple Wood Maturation: The spirit gains "exceptional strength" and structure from bourbon and heavy-char American oak, creating a "rich and thick" vanilla backbone.
Port Barrique Finish: The "secret" to its "luscious" red fruit character, "transforming" the spirit with layers of red berries and syrupy spice.
Direct Fire Distillation: Distilled in small, direct-fired copper pot stills, ensuring an "unctuous" mouthfeel and "bold" complexity.
