Stauning Bastard – Research Series Batch (2021)

Stauning Bastard – Research Series Batch 1-2021

The Stauning Bastard is a bold and experimental Danish rye whisky from the Research Series , in which Stauning pushes the boundaries of cask aging. This bottling received a Mezcal Cask Finish , which creates a distinctly smoky and spicy character that differs significantly from classic rye whiskies.

Bottled in 2021 , at 46.3% ABV , and limited to 2,236 bottles , this is a whisky for the enthusiast who consciously chooses something different from the predictable.

Flavor profile
The nose offers distinct notes of smoke, spice, citrus zest, and earthy accents reminiscent of mezcal. The palate reveals spicy rye, pepper, clove, and toasted notes, with a subtle sweetness in the background. The finish is medium to long, smoky, spicy, and slightly dry.
