Description

Stauning Danish Whisky - Kaos

Created by a diverse group of nine friends, Stauning is based in a small village on the west coast of Denmark. Their journey started in 2005, with no knowledge of experience in producing whisky. Just a desire to create a great (Danish) whisky.

It wasn't until 2011 that the first bottles were released commerically. Neither an Old World Whisky, its also not a New World Whisky. Stauning call their Whiskies 'Our World Whisky'. At the time it was released there was a huge resurgence in more local ingredients, craft producers, and immediately Stauning was noticed. Even with production at 80,000 litres they couldnt keep up, so in 2018 they opened their new purpose-built distillery, but have maintained their ethos, and their barley is sourced locally. 

The inspiration behind KAOS comes straight from Danish history. Thorvald Stauning was a Danish Prime Minister, and is considered the founder of the modern welfare state. During his 1935 re-election campaign he used the slogan "Stauning eller Kaos" (Stauning of Chaos).

By blending their best rye and single malt whiskies (their No-smoke Malt, their Malted Rye and their Smoked Single Malt), Stauning brings KAOS in a curious, yet delicious marriage. Their KAOS whisky brings together everything Staning does in one bottle.... a bit of smoke, a bit of spice, and a whole lot of complexity ensures a contemporary and versatile Nordic whisky.

On the nose KAOS bring cereals, chocolate, oak cinnamon, and a delicious bonfire aroma. The flavour is similar to a smoked chocolate, blended with nougat, caramel and liquorice. Sweet apple and oak round the palate out. The finish is long and smokey, with vanilla, orange, smoky tobacco and dried red fruits. The oakiness also continues right through to the end.

Perfect Serve

This really is a truly versatile whisky. It can easily be enjoyed straight up for the full undiluted experienc like a good scotch. It also works well, and has more of a bourbon/rye feel when ice is added.

Or how about giving your classic whisky-based cocktails a Nordic chaotic twist?
