Copenhagen Distillery Unveils Newest Whisky Expression: REFINED No.3

Capturing Denmark in a bottle, REFINED No.3 is a perfect balance of innovation and craftsmanship

‘Distinctively Danish’ whisky producer, Copenhagen Distillery proudly announces the release of REFINED No.3, the highly anticipated newest expression in its acclaimed portfolio.

Limited to just 1,362 bottles, REFINED No.3 is crafted from 100% malted barley, including carefully cold-smoked portions, and matured in virgin and specially seasoned Hungarian oak casks.

Copenhagen Distillery’s unique seasoning process imbues the barrels with a proprietary blend, infusing each drop with a distinctly Danish character. The careful cask treatment adds layers of complexity that positions REFINED not just an expansion of the portfolio, but a bold statement in its own right.

REFINED No.3 presents a whisky of sophistication, depth and balance, with expressive layers of robust spice, herbal notes evocative of classic Danish bitters, complemented by subtle hints of liquorice and toasted rye bread. On the palate, expect delicate phenols, gentle smokiness, herbaceous sweetness, and discreet spiciness, showcasing both refinement and complexity in equal measure.

Lasse Öznek, Master Distiller at Copenhagen Distillery, comments: “With every release, we take another step toward our ultimate vision of crafting the perfect whisky – though in truth, the journey will never truly end, because experimentation is in our nature. REFINED No.3 is the latest expression of that exploration, and exemplifies our spirit: innovative, distinctly Danish, and layered with complexity from our unique cask seasoning process. It’s a whisky that captures both tradition and innovation, and we are very proud of it.”

Building on this philosophy, REFINED No.3 pushes boundaries with its balance of bold character and elegance. Crafted to showcase both innovation and heritage, it brings together Copenhagen Distillery’s forward‑thinking methods and its dedication to shaping a new Danish whisky tradition.

More than a new expression, REFINED embodies the very essence of Copenhagen Distillery’s mission – to craft whiskies that are unapologetically Distinctively Danish. The unique cask treatments add unexpected layers of flavour, highlighting the distillery’s uncompromising approach to innovation, craftsmanship, and bold expression.

REFINED No.3 (58.3% ABV) is priced at €265. The whisky will be available to purchase in the UK from The Whisky Exchange Online, as well as leading speciality whisky retailers worldwide and online in Northern Europe via the Copenhagen Distillery website.
