Stauning Bastard / Mezcal Finish Danish Rye Whisky

70cl / 46.3% - A Danish rye whisky from Stauning, Bastard is made with locally-sourced grains and is distilled in a flame-heated pot still. After three years in Virgin American oak casks, it was transferred to ex-Oro de Oaxaca mezcal casks where it spent six months, before being bottled in August 2020. Aromas of sweet pipe tobacco, smoke, raisins, oranges, oak and oatcakes fill the nose, complemented by notes of vanilla, dried fruit, cinnamon, shortbread and brown sugar throughout the palate.
