Stauning R.Y.E (Rye) PX Sherry Cask Finish - Danish Whisky

Volume: 0.7 litres | Alcohol content: 46% | Chill filtration: No | Colouring: No

Special Features:

A permanent expression in the core range, Stauning R.Y.E. PX combines Danish rye whisky with a two-stage maturation. The whisky, made from locally grown rye and barley, first matures on site in new American oak casks. An extended finish in Pedro Ximénez sherry casks adds dark fruit and velvety sweetness without obscuring the rye spice.

The rye and barley are floor-malted entirely at the distillery and kiln-dried. Four days of fermentation are followed by double distillation in 24 small, direct-fired copper pot stills. When expanding the distillery, Stauning deliberately retained the small still format to preserve the established character of its spirit.

Caramelised fig, ripe plum and toasted oak form the rich core of this expression. Its velvety sweetness remains balanced by the spicy structure of the rye. The whisky is bottled at 46%. The finish is long, fruity and gently warming.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: On the nose, warm baking spices mingle with dark dried fruits.
• Palate: Caramelised fig, ripe plum and toasted oak come to the fore on the palate, while velvety sweetness balances the rye spice.
• Finish: The finish is long, fruity and gently warming.

Distillery/Bottler:

Stauning Whisky A/S produces R.Y.E. PX on Denmark’s west coast and bottles it at its own distillery. Nine friends founded Stauning in 2005 as a joint project in a former slaughterhouse. Its first commercial bottling followed in 2011, before the purpose-built distillery opened in 2018.

The new distillery increased capacity without replacing the small stills with larger equipment. Instead, Stauning now operates 24 small pot stills. Locally grown grain, floor malting and direct firing continue to define its production methods.
