Stauning KAOS Triple Malt Danish Single Grain Whisky

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

An extremely versatile whisky: For the full undiluted experience, drink it neat like a scotch, add ice for a bourbon/rye feel or spice up your classic whisky-based cocktail with a Nordic chaotic twist.

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.

We bring you both Stauning and KAOS by blending our best rye and single malt whiskies in a curious marriage.
