A Nordic step into my world whisky journey today as I had the chance to sample two expressions from the Danish Braunstein Distillery<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The samples came in test tubes (along with a gin, vodka and rum also produced by the distillery ) within a classy padded box. This “Library collection” set proved to be a perfect introduction to Braunstein<\/a>‘s spirits, offering a relevant overview of their range.<\/p>\n

“The Danish distillery Bryghuset Braunstein has been around for quite some time. For the first few years they were a brewery only, but as we entered the new millennium they started distilling whisky. Braunstein is owned and run by two brothers; Michael Dines Braunstein is the sales manager, and Claus Braunstein is the distillery manager.<\/p>\n

All their production is organic, and they would love to put out certified organic whisky. The problem is getting hold of enough certified organic oak barrels, therefore they do not label their whisky as organic.<\/p>\n

Braunstein produces both peated and unpeated whisky. They source their peated malt from Port Ellen Maltings (60 ppm), and they say the phenol level in their peated whiskies is about 30 ppm on the bottle.<\/p>\n

They exclusively use first fill barrels in all maturation, and they have grown their own yeast (bi-product of many years of brewing, no doubt). They use different yeast strains for the peated and the unpeated production.” (Thanks to the amazing bloggers behind the The Whisky Saga<\/a> for all those information – not fluent in Danish yet ;))<\/p>\n
