#29 UK Copenhagen Destillery

This podcast features an interview with Lasse Öznek, the Master Distiller at Copenhagen Distillery, who discusses the company’s recent international success and unique production philosophy. Despite their whiskey’s young age, the distillery achieved prestigious "Master" and "Gold" titles through blind tastings, outperforming established spirits from Scotland and Japan. Öznek explains how his scientific background in chemistry shapes their"art, craft, and science" approach, utilizing organic Danish grain, specialized fermentation, and high-temperature aging to accelerate flavordevelopment. The conversation highlights their streamlined product range—Raw, Refined, and Rare—which focuses on specific flavor profiles rather than traditional age statements.
