Stauning El Clasico Rye Whisky, Spanish Vermouth Cask

A Nordic whisky demon with Iberian blood flowing through its veins. Stauning El Clásico is a matured rye whisky that has additionally been aged in vermouth casks.

Rye whisky and sweet vermouth have always made a strong line-up in the iconic cocktail Manhattan. They wanted to capture that magic in their rye whisky. So, the matured whisky got a finish on vermouth casks, and the experiment turned out more than successful: A warm-blooded whisky with a deep, amber colour and a sweet aftertaste with a touch of bitter botanicals. Perfect for an exclusive cocktail or enjoyed as neat.

The result is a warm and intense taste of newly-harvested grains with a spicy and bittersweet aftertaste. A classic is born.
