Stauning KAOS 2017 – Danish Whiskey (Single Grain)

The Stauning KAOS 2017 is an early expression of Stauning Whisky and represents the experimental phase in which the distillery formed its identity. At Stauning, KAOS represents a combination of different distillates, bringing together smoke, malt, and grain in a single bottling.

This edition was distilled in 2013/2014 and bottled in April 2017 , at 47.3% ABV. It's a whisky that deliberately deviates from classic style rules, focusing primarily on character and balance rather than age.

The nose reveals soft smoke, grain, a light sweetness, and a subtle spiciness. The palate is round and slightly oily, with notes of malt, smoke, pepper, vanilla, and a touch of dry wood. The finish is medium-long, with lingering smoke and a slightly bitter grain texture.

This is n't a heavy peat bomb , nor is it a modern "show-off" bottling, but it is an interesting snapshot of Stauning's early years . Especially suitable for enthusiasts who want to follow the evolution of new distilleries or are looking for something different from the classic Scotch profile.
