Stauning Curious

70cl - ABV: 43%

Introducing the whisky before it becomes whisky: Stauning Curious is our new make spirit tapped directly from the pot stills. Wild at heart, charming and captivating. And perfect for creating cocktails with poise and potence.

Curious is the unaged heart of our Stauning rye whisky that has been smoked over peat and heather. It is a rich and smokey new make with a subtle sweetness. Not unlike mezcal and grappa, however with a bit more body and character thanks to the malted rye. To be enjoyed on its own, but can also perform as a refined replacement for vodka, peated whisky, mezcal or white rum in high-end cocktails.

The first release in Stauning Research Series

Research Series is our playground, where we free ourselves from traditions and make room for experiments and innovation.

Curious is what is popularly known as a White Dog or New Make – or simply: raw spirit. It is the whisky before it is put on oak casks to mature.
