From Slaughterhouse to Stauning — a guided tour of smoke, booze and robbery stories

\ *\ *Also visit the old slaughterhouse — where it all began.\ *\ * Where and when were the very first drops of Stauning whiskey distilled? What did they taste like? And what really happened in the old slaughterhouse before the world opened its eyes to the whiskey from West Jutland? \ All of these questions — and many more — are now answered. Go back to the beginning when Mogens Vesterby — former butcher, master distiller, co-founder and first employee of Stauning — opens the doors to the original distillery: a disused slaughterhouse in Stauning. Here, the grain on the tile floor was malted by hand, dried over peat from a nearby open-air museum and ground in an old meat mill. During the night, Mogens got up and turned over the grain with a shovel. Along the way, you'll hear stories about how a crazy idea turned into an award-winning whiskey — which is now served at Noma, among others — and how a chance encounter with a famous whiskey author changed everything. An experience for anyone who wants to get close to the roots — and the scent of something that has become much bigger than you had imagined.

Taste, Senses and Stauning

Taste, Senses and Stauning — a sensual story about whiskey, food and possible worlds. Can whiskey not only be enjoyed in a glass, but can a dish in the kitchen also be refined — or perhaps even inspired to create new flavor combinations and conversations? Henning Svoldgaard, co-founder of Stauning Whisky and trained chef and waiter, invites you to a different kind of whiskey tasting in the heart of the distillery. Here, the focus is not only on percentages and barrel storage, but also on aromas, foods and innovative uses of whiskey. Drawing on his culinary background, Henning shares his experience of integrating whiskey into cooking — from ideas for dishes where a stauning whiskey enhances the overall taste experience, to stories about cocktails and bold experiments that radiate curiosity and creativity. At the same time, attendees have the rare opportunity to taste whiskey that may never have been on sale before. The event begins with the presentation and tasting of two carefully selected whiskies, accompanied by vivid stories about Stauning's journey and the many nuances of whiskey. This is followed by a guided tour of the distillery before the experience is rounded off with an exclusive tasting in Stauning's new tasting room — including whiskey straight from the tap.
