This “Smoked Double Malt” is made from a combination of malted barley and malted rye, which gives a special depth and complexity to the flavour profile. With an alcohol percentage of 43%, the whisky is both accessible and nuanced, making it suitable for both experienced whisky enthusiasts and those wanting an introduction to smoked whiskies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"848\" data-start=\"538\"\u003eWhat is special about Stauning RØG is its mild interpretation of smoke. Instead of a dominant and powerful smoke profile, the smoke here is balanced and elegant, designed to complement rather than overpower. The result is a whisky with a clear identity and a distinct Danish character, where balance and finesse are at the centre.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-end=\"848\" data-start=\"538\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eTaste and aroma – balanced smoke and Nordic nuances\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1136\" data-start=\"911\"\u003eOn the nose, you are met with soft campfire smoke and toasted grain, which immediately sets the tone for the whisky's character. The smoke is rounded and inviting, without the sharp or medicinal notes often found in more classic smoked whiskies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1449\" data-start=\"1138\"\u003eThis balance continues on the palate. Here, mild stone fruits emerge along with caramelised oak and fine spices. The Madeira finish adds a discreet sweetness and extra depth, which enhances the overall experience. The smoke is ever-present, but acts as a supporting element that ties the flavour nuances together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1650\" data-start=\"1451\"\u003eThe aftertaste is light and lingering with a pleasant smoky finish. Overall, it is a whisky where smoke, sweetness and spice play together harmoniously and create a rounded and accessible flavour profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1650\" data-start=\"1451\"\u003e\u003cimg height=\"223\" width=\"300\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0615\/9024\/1539\/files\/stauning-rog-smoked-double-malt-whisky-smag.png?v=1775624013\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-end=\"1650\" data-start=\"1451\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eDanish origin and idea – terroir from the west coast\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1920\" data-start=\"1706\"\u003eStauning RØG is deeply rooted in its Danish origin. Inspired by the landscape of the Jutland west coast – with cornfields, salty sea air and raw nature – the whisky is created with a focus on local ingredients and a distinct terroir.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2191\" data-start=\"1922\"\u003eThe grain used in the production comes from local farms, and both the peat and heather, used for the smoking, are also locally sourced. This gives the whisky a special Nordic expression, where the smoke takes on the character of soft campfire rather than strong medicinal smoke.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2400\" data-start=\"2193\"\u003eThe idea behind RØG is to create a whisky where the origin and raw materials can be clearly tasted. It is a modern interpretation of smoked whisky, where Danish craftsmanship and nature play a central role in the final expression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-end=\"2400\" data-start=\"2193\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eProduction and craftsmanship – tradition meets precision\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2711\" data-start=\"2463\"\u003eThe production of Stauning RØG is based on traditional methods and an uncompromising approach to quality. The grain is 100% floor-malted at the distillery, where it is turned by hand and dried in a kiln over heather and peat, which imparts the characteristic smoke.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2950\" data-start=\"2713\"\u003eThe distillation takes place in 24 small, direct-fired copper pot stills, where the whisky is double-distilled to achieve a clean and complex spirit. This method provides great control over the process and contributes to the whisky's depth and structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"3262\" data-start=\"2952\"\u003eAfter distillation, the whisky is aged in American oak casks, which add warmth and structure. It is then finished in Madeira casks, which contribute softness, fruity notes and extra complexity. The whisky has no added colour and is not chill-filtered, which preserves its natural character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-end=\"3262\" data-start=\"2952\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eWorld Whiskies Awards 2026 – international recognition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"3560\" data-start=\"3330\"\u003eStauning RØG has achieved significant international recognition and was named Category Winner in the “Taste” category at the World Whiskies Awards 2026. This award underlines the whisky's high quality and well-balanced flavour profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"3821\" data-start=\"3562\"\u003eThe judging panel's tasting notes highlight, among other things, smoky notes that create interest and coherence throughout the tasting experience. In addition, nuances such as raspberry jam, herbaceous tones and peat are mentioned, which together provide a complex and lingering finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"4006\" data-start=\"3823\"\u003eThe award is a clear seal of quality and confirms Stauning RØG as a whisky that not only stands out for its style, but can also compete with the best international releases.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"4006\" data-start=\"3823\"\u003e\u003cimg height=\"141\" width=\"130\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0615\/9024\/1539\/files\/stauning-rog-whisky-world-whiskies-awards-category-winner-taste-whiskystack.jpg?v=1775623972\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-end=\"4006\" data-start=\"3823\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eServing suggestions – how to bring out the best\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"4264\" data-start=\"4067\"\u003eStauning RØG can be enjoyed neat to experience its full complexity and balance.

Here, 5 cl of Stauning RØG is combined with 15 cl of chilled sparkling water over a large ice cube and topped with a strip of lemon peel. The result is a light, elegant drink, where the discreet smoke is allowed to interact with the freshness of the citrus and carbonation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-is-only-node=\"\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-end=\"4763\" data-start=\"4598\"\u003eThis versatility makes Stauning RØG suitable both as a sipping whisky and as a base in simple, clean cocktails, where its character is still allowed to come through clearly.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stauning Whisky","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53947553317210,"sku":"ws-wh-st-10813962617178","price":60.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0615\/9024\/1539\/files\/stauning-rog-smoked-double-malt-whisky-whiskystack-1-compressed.webp?v=1787635972","url":"https:\/\/whiskystack.de\/en\/products\/stauning-rog-whisky","provider":"WHISKYSTACK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
