Taste note

  • Colour:

    Deep amber color with warm reddish highlights

  • Nose:

    On the nose, Stauning Rye - Sherry Cask Finish presents a wonderful blend of sweet and spicy aromas. The rye spice comes through first, with warm notes of cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove, creating an aromatic base. This is beautifully balanced by the rich, fruity sweetness from the sherry cask finish, with scents of dried fruits like figs, raisins, and dark cherries. There’s also a touch of dark chocolate and a hint of toasted oak, with a subtle nutty undertone. The complexity of the nose is both inviting and intriguing, drawing you in with its depth.

  • Palate:

    The mouthfeel is smooth and rich, with a medium to full body that provides a satisfying weight on the palate. The rye spice dominates initially, with a peppery kick, followed by a wave of sweet fruitiness from the sherry influence—think dark raisins, plums, and a touch of orange peel. The combination of sweet and spicy elements is perfectly balanced, with the fruitiness softening the rye’s boldness. As the whisky develops on the palate, the oak influence becomes more apparent, with flavors of vanilla, toffee, and a slight nuttiness, creating a well-rounded and harmonious flavor profile. A gentle hint of leather and tobacco adds an additional layer of depth.

  • Finish:

    The finish is long and warming, with the rye spice lingering alongside the sweetness from the sherry casks. The oak spice from the casks continues to shine through, with lingering flavors of dried fruit, dark chocolate, and a subtle smokiness. The finish is clean but rich, leaving a lasting impression of both the spice and the sherry sweetness.

  • Conclusion:

    Stauning Rye - Sherry Cask Finish is a well-crafted whisky that brings together the bold, spicy character of rye with the rich, fruity complexity of sherry cask maturation. The interplay between the rye’s peppery spice and the sweet fruitiness from the sherry casks makes for a harmonious and complex experience. This whisky is perfect for those who appreciate a bold rye whisky but are looking for something with an added layer of sweetness and depth. It’s an excellent choice for sipping neat or with a touch of water to unlock even more of its character.
