Stauning 2020/2025 - 5 y.o. - American Oak Single Cask #2544 - The Awakening Series
Special features: This impressive Danish single malt whisky comes from the renowned Stauning Distillery and was exclusively bottled for "The Awakening Series 2025," created on the occasion of the first Whisky Live fair in Hamburg. The whisky matured entirely in New American Oak Cask #2544 and was bottled at natural cask strength of 61% vol. – a prime example of Scandinavian craftsmanship, intensity, and modern whisky character.
Tasting Notes:
Nose: Sweet and creamy with notes of vanilla, honey, and butter caramel. Alongside grains, fresh malt, ripe apples, and a subtle oak spice – typical of the clear, Nordic style of Stauning.
Palate: Powerful yet balanced – vanilla pudding, toffee, and sweet malt meet cinnamon, roasted nuts, and bright fruits. The influence of the American oak cask provides depth, creamy texture, and harmonious sweetness.
Finish: Long and warm – with notes of vanilla, honey, malt sugar, and a gentle wood note in the aftertaste.
Distillery/Bottler: The Stauning Distillery was founded in 2005 by nine friends who wanted to combine their passion for whisky and craftsmanship. They use local ingredients and traditional methods to create whiskies with a distinctive Danish character. The distillery is located in Stauning, Denmark, and has built an international reputation since its founding.
