From Slaughterhouse to Stauning — a guided tour of smoke, booze and robbery stories
Stauningvej 38, 6900 Skjern
Danish
***Also visit the old slaughterhouse - where it all began. ***
*Where and when were the very first drops of Stauning Whisky distilled? How did they taste? And what really happened in the old slaughterhouse before the world opened its eyes to West Jutland whisky?
All of these questions -- and many more -- will be answered now. * *Go back to the beginning when Mogens Vesterby — former butcher, Master Distiller, co-founder and Stauning's first employee — opens the doors to the original distillery: a disused slaughterhouse in Stauning. Here, the grain was hand-malted on the tile floor, dried over peat from a nearby open-air museum and ground in an old meat grinder. At night, Mogens got up and turned the grain with a shovel. * *Along the way, you'll hear the stories of how a wild idea turned into award-winning whiskey -- today served at Noma, among others -- and how a chance meeting with a famous whiskey writer changed everything. * *An experience for those who want to get close to the roots -- and the smell of something that became much bigger than anyone imagined. *
