A perfectly complex blend of fine Danish Single Malt, peated Single Malt, and malted Rye Whiskies.

Stauning sits on the West Coast of Denmark facing the North Sea. It’s a quiet farm community of rolling hills dotted with seated moors. But if you sailed a boat directly west from there, you would sail right into the Firth of Forth with Edinburgh on your left. When it comes to climate, Staining actually has more in common with the Highlands of Scotland that Copenhagen.

And it was here when in 2005 nine friends set up shop to learn the craft of making Whisky. They wanted to push the boundaries of Whisky by reviving traditional methods with 24 copper pot stills in an old abandoned butchery, surrounded by rolling hills of grain. They even malt their own local grain. Welcome to the world of complex and deep flavors of Staining Danish Whisky.

The word “Kaos” in Danish means exactly what you think it does — “chaos”. Thorvald Stauning once said “Stauning or Chaos” and went on to win re-election as Prime Minister in 1935. But Stauning Kaos Danish Whisky is the opposite of chaos. It’s a carefully thought-out blend of their three core Whiskies — Single Malt, peated Single Malt, and malted Rye. This curious marriage brings you a bit of smoke, a bit of spice, some sweetness, and plenty of complexity at a perfect 46% ABV.

Long finish coca and citrus. Surprisingly good. I did not expect to like this based on the description but it's complex and interesting and I think I have to buy a bottle.

It's different. Not bad but not my style of whiskey.

It’s good

I liked this and added a little ice, not a lot though. Flaviar Black has it at $67-$68, with a non member price of about $85. To be honest, it’s not good enough for either price point. As someone who has sipped whiskey for many years, I am seeing the trend of mid level brands I used to buy asking for prices that aren’t worthy of the ask. I can still get Eagle Rare and Angels Envy for about $40 and regular Buffalo Trace for about $20-$28 in my hometown where I was born…these are good, but not elite whiskies. This goes to show you how archaic alcohol laws in many states artificially increase prices and distillers limit allocations because the inflated prices reduce consumption. Dirty secret is that Rip Van Winkle isn’t with the price. I know, I’ve bought them.

Solid stuff. Not sure I'd pay ...

Solid stuff. Not sure I'd pay $84 for an entire bottle though. Don't get me wrong, it's good. Smoky, smooth, doesn't hang on terribly long but its got a nice warmth to it.
