the Story of Stauning Whisky started in the spring of 2005, where nine friends from the west jutland decided to start a hobbyproduktion of single malt whisky up. The motley crowd of four engineers, a teacher, a chef, a butcher, a pilot and a doctor went in their free time to transform the butcher’s old slaughterhouse in December for a mini-distillery, and in 2006, rippled the first drops forward.
In 2015 bought Distill Ventures, which is a partner with the English spiritusgigant Diageo Stauning and is now investing more than 100 million crowns in a complete modernisation of the Stauning distillery, which was finished last year.
