The Heart Cut #01 from Stauning Distillery is a Danish Single Malt that’s as captivating as the rugged West Coast of Denmark where it was born.

Distilled in April 2017 and bottled in November 2022, this limited-edition release (just 371 bottles) captures the essence of Stauning’s innovative spirit and deep connection to its surroundings. At 52% ABV, it’s a bold yet beautifully balanced whisky that’s sure to intrigue both newcomers and seasoned whisky lovers alike.

Stauning’s dedication to local tradition is evident in the whisky’s heather-smoked character. Once a year, the distillery creates a batch of whisky using locally foraged heather, imparting a delicate, perfumed aroma that perfectly complements its smoky and sweet notes.

The Heart Cut #01 is not just a whisky—it’s a journey through the moorlands of Denmark, a taste of the Atlantic winds, and a testament to the craftsmanship of Stauning Distillery. 

Distillery Tasting Note: This whisky offers a unique taste experience that’s both sweet and smoky, beginning with the evocative notes of a beach bonfire and sweet BBQ sauce, and finishing with the rich, indulgent flavor of sticky toffee pudding. What sets this whisky apart is its journey through two types of casks—initially matured in an ex-bourbon cask, it then spent seven months finishing in a Madeira wine cask, which adds layers of caramel, roasted nuts, and a hint of raisin to the profile..
