Description and specs

The wind from the North Sea mixes blood with the desert of Mexico in this double-distilled rye whisky aged in old mezcal casks. An illegal love affair with a gentle and exotic aftertaste.

Stauning Bastard a rye whisky made purely of local ingredients, malted on the floor at our distillery and double-distilled in flame-heated pot stills. After at least three years in new, toasted virgin American oak casks, it has been rounded off with at least 6-months ageing in old mezcal casks from Mexican Oro de Oaxaca.

The result is an elegant love child whose equal you won't find anywhere else in this world.

Bastard is the second release from our Research Series: Stauning's playground, where we free ourselves from traditions and make room for experiments and innovation.

This whisky was created from our rye whisky that has matured additionally on Mezcal casks from Mexican producer, Oro de Oaxaca. Mezcal is a traditional Mexican liquor made by distilling the heart of the agave.

This is the second release from our experimental series, made from rye & barley harvested in Stauning, floor-malted at the distillery, matured a minimum of 3 years in Virgin American Oak & then 6 months in Mezcal casks, double-distilled in small, open-fired pot stills, unfiltered, and 100% handmade at the distillery using nothing but local ingredients.

Tasting Notes:

Aroma: Sweet pipe tobacco smoke, raisins, oat biscuit, citrus, oak.

Taste: Tobacco, vanilla, barley, dried fruit, cinnamon, brown sugar, molasses, shortbread, oak.

Finish: Long, sweet, lightly smoky, salty, brown sugar, pepper.

"Full of hedonistic pleasures, this is sweet but not fruity, with cinnamon, an intensity of rye spices, and more direct mezcal influences and long-lasting flavors." - Jonny McCormick, Whisky Advocate (92 Points)
