OUR INTERPRETATION OF A NORDIC RYE

Our Nordic interpretation of a rye whisky made with all malted spelt, rye and barley. Utilizing several of the grains of our organic crop rotation, integral to regenerative farming principles, and in part inspired by the long-going Danish tradition for rye bread and new found affection for ancient wheats in baking. Spelt-Rye is showcasing what a careful organic grain selection, in-house malting and exploring new mashbills can do for a whisky.

Økologisk Omtanke

As certified organic farmers we admit to careful regenerative farming priciples using cover crops and crop rotation to preserve soil fertility, biodiversity and safekeep the precious groundwater reserve beneath our land.

For SPELT-RYE, we make use of several grains from our crop rotation. This makes a complex, sweet, spicy and floral interpretation of smooth Nordic rye whisky.

Malted Rye Whisky

We designed our own malt drums to be able to experiment with recipes and work with any grain we want. Flexibility is key to exploring flavors, and our own malt house allows us to do just that.
