Stauning – Smoked R.Y.E. Porter Beer Cask (70cl, 51.4%)

Stauning Smoked R.Y.E. Porter Beer Cask is a Danish rye whisky finished in casks that held porter from the craft brewery To Øl. The mash is 60% locally grown rye and 40% locally grown barley, smoked with Danish peat and heather. It was filled into heavily charred new American white oak on 28 March 2022, moved to the porter casks on 20 February 2024 and bottled on 3 February 2026 at 51.4%. The 2,500 bottles come from ten casks, natural colour and not chill-filtered. Roasted malt, vanilla and campfire smoke lead the nose. The palate is creamy, with rye bread, beeswax, orange peel, cherry and dark chocolate, and the long finish brings plum, raisins, brown sugar and coffee.
