The distillery
Stauning
Skjern, Denmark
Stauning Distillery was founded in 2005 by a group of nine friends near Stauning. Starting as a small, experimental project, it quickly gained recognition for its commitment to traditional methods, including floor malting and direct-fired pot stills. Stauning focuses on using local Danish grains and craftsmanship to create a distinct Nordic whisky style. Over the years, it has grown into one of Europe’s most respected modern distilleries, known for innovation while staying rooted in local heritage.
