Stauning 2016 – Rye (Madeira Cask Finish)

Stauning 2016 – Rye (Madeira Cask Finish)

This Stauning 2016 Rye is a powerful and characterful Danish rye whisky from Stauning Whisky's experimental period. Distilled on September 9, 2016 , and bottled in June 2020 , it features a distinct Madeira cask finish that adds depth and complexity to the spicy rye style.

The nose reveals dark fruit, raisins, spicy rye, wood, and a distinct wine influence. The palate is full and intense: peppery rye notes, sweet Madeira, cloves, cocoa, and a slightly drying woody texture. The high alcohol content of 52.4% provides strength while remaining beautifully integrated. The finish is long, warm, and spicy with lingering wine-sweet notes.

This bottling was released in a very limited edition . This copy is bottle number 342 , which underscores its individual provenance and collector's value. Typical Stauning: transparent, unfiltered, and unadorned.

Collection value
Interesting as an early experimental Stauning , with rye raw material and wine barrel finish. Not a mass-produced product, but a distinctive bottle for lovers of powerful styles. More suitable for drinking or comparison than as a pure investment.
