Get real close to Thornæs Whisky
Our Whisky Experience Tour gives you the opportunity to delve further into the genesis of Thornæs Whisky. We start in the distillery, where we go through the processes from mashing to distilling and tasting the clear liquor called New Make, which is the starting point for the maturation.
Then we go to our cask warehouse, where we tell about the background of the maturation of wooden barrels, as well as which dishes you can encounter in the warehouse. Along the way, we'll taste another four different whiskies, at least one of which will be tapped as a sample of the day.
Order lunch from our local restaurant
From Easter onwards, you can order a delicious lunch with local delicacies from our partner Falkendal Spisehus on weekends. Lunch is served before the tour starts, where you can also buy drinks.

Whiskey in the Heart of North Zealand
At Thornæs Distilleri we produce Danish Single Malt Whisky using double distillation in small batches. We are a Craft Distillery, which means that we manufacture all our products by hand and continuously adapt raw materials and processes to achieve the best possible result.
The distillery is established in an old horse stable on the farm Falkendal, located in North Zealand close to Gribskov and Solbjerg Engsø. On the farm, organic malt barley is produced according to varieties carefully selected by the distillery and therefore particularly suitable for the production of organic Danish Single Malt Whisky.
At the distillery we also produce a gin called Mad Owl Gin, which is named after the owl that lived in the attic of the distillery at the time we moved in in 2019. Today it's moved out - probably because of all the spectacle we go and do.
In addition to the distillery itself, both a farm shop and a tasting room have been established, where guests can sample the distillery's products and buy some with them. Through a large window, you can follow our work in distilling whisky and gin from the shop.
