Stauning KAOS Triple Malt Whisky (750mL)

Everything Stauning does, in one bottle. A bit of smoke, a bit of spice, and a lot of complexity in a versatile Nordic whisky. 

The name, KAOS, is inspired by Danish history. Thorvald Stauning (1873-1943) was the first social-democratic Prime Minister of Denmark and is considered to be the founder of the modern welfare state.  For his re-election campaign in 1935, he used the now famed slogan "Stauning or Chaos" ("Stauning eller Kaos" in Danish). He won the election.

Stauning KAOS is a mashup made from the distillery's three single malts: Stauning No-Smoke Single Malt, Stauning Malted Rye and Stauning Smoked Single Malt.  Its produced from locally harvested barley and rye which is floor-malted at the distillery. The spirits is double-distilled in small, open-fired pot stills and unfiltered and not chill-filtered, then matured in heavy charred Virgin American Oak barrels and 1st fill, Makers Mark-cask
