Distilled 2009, bottled 2013
Stauning says they bottles this in a dark bottle to protect the phenols from disintegrate from light. LIght and whisky for sure doesnt work together very well
Young nose, a bit of peat and vanilla. There is a little bit of youthfull sourness in the nose I don't really like
Not expecting much the palate is surprisingly good. The wood has spiced up this whisky very well with some prickly vanilla notes embedding the peat
The finish is long and in the end I pick up some more sour youthness
Again a young dram, but thats what they got. In my opinion on level with the young stuff bottled by Kilchoman
Rating 80/100
Comment a funny mix of very pleasing and somewhat displeasing
This concludes the Staunings. The rye ended up as my favourite, but the vanilla part of this peated dram is really delicious and when fullly matured this will be a top class whisky
Next up is three cask samples from Ørbæk (or Nyborg distillery as the also call themselves)
