BACK IN STOCK SOON

Stauning’s whiskies are made from 100% floor-malted local rye and/or barley, and are double distilled in small direct-fired pot stills. Every word cool and important there. It’s rare to malt rye; almost nobody bothers with the effort/cost of creating character via traditional floor malting (let alone 100%!); double pot distillation is more like Scotch than classic American rye, but direct-fired stills (uneven heating but potentially delicious Maillard reactions) are now extremely rare in Scotland.

HØST blends both single malt and malted rye(!). Mostly American oak casks, with some Port barriques. Like Westward (who’ve filed for bankruptcy), Starward, and Fielden, Stauning’s currently affected by Diageo withdrawing from Distill Ventures investments. Jobs have been lost, output has halved and distilling has ceased while they figure things out. We very much hope they do.
