EtOH is a start-up company based in Copenhagen, Denmark. The company was founded by Tobias Emil Jensen, who previously started one of the most famous microbreweries in Denmark. In 2017 he left the beer business to explore the future of whisky and spirits making. Through years of development and academic research we have invented, and refined methods to accelerate ageing of spirits.
We produce handcrafted Danish malt spirits with ultramodern technology. Through an elaborate acceleration process we are able to transform raw white spirit intro complex, intriguing masterpieces, much like aged spirits such as whisky. We inspire to create the future of spirits – with no time wasted.
Our technology allows us to be very adaptive on a constantly changing market. We can follow trends and create custom products suited for individual markets retailers very rapidly. The process is proven and we have spent years developing our methods and equipment. During the last 3 years we successfully collaborated with students from University of Copenhagen, mostly from Food Science and Chemistry departments. We believe in science and do not take this task lightly.
We have found our niche in a high-quality spirit, offering innovation, craftsmanship and great flavour. Our brand speaks design, innovation but most importantly excellence.
Our spirits are best enjoyed neat, similar to great whisky our spirits are layered and complex. With that being said, we have seen and tried some fantastic cocktails with our spirits.
Arbejd is a 9 days old pure malt 47%. The scent, the ethereal, the ever-piercing aroma of peat and phenols. The fog of war, the fumes of old. Arbejd is our peated expression. Here smoke and peat take the centre stage. This spirit is based only on Sherry Oloroso barrels which adds a balancing sweetness to the bold spirit. The barrels are loaded into our reactor together with a raw, peated new-make spirit and left to transform for 9 days.
Waves of salt speckled smoke overwhelms your pallet, shining through is a promise of safe harbour, caramel, ripe apples and black tea lingers in the background. Arbejd offers an elegant smoky character with well-integrated sweetness leaving you longing for another sip.
Hailing from Portuguese barrels, this 7 days old pure malt 43% has decades of heritage in its composition. This spirit is made using Port Wine barrels in combination with Burgundy Brandy barrels. The wood from the different barrels is loaded into our reactor and are left to transform and age for 7 days. Using ultrasound, elevated temperatures and controlled oxygenation we are able to transform raw, white spirit into oaky drops of gold.
The result of the transformation is a deep, robust and complex drink, packed with notes of vanilla, dark red berries, dried fruits and warming winter spices. Call of Excise duty offers a complexity and long-lasting taste, perfect for a night by the fire.
