History

Thy Whisky is a Danish organic whisky distillery on the family farm Gyrup in Thy. We exclusively use our own grain to make our whisky, malted, mashed and distilled on the farm. The entire production takes place here on the farm—from the field cultivated to the bottle tapped. Thy Whisky describes itself as SINGLE ESTATE and focuses on organic terroir through the use of both modern and old Danish grain varieties as well as the beech-smoked malt. Our history highlights a unique Danish approach to single malt and an early marking of our own cask work, which has led to recognition as one of Europe’s most noted organic whiskies. A particular highlight is the 4-year beech-smoked single malt “Bøg,” which was named Best European Whisky in Jim Murray’s Whisky Bible 2020.

Production / Manufacturing

Thy Whisky produces exclusively organic grain from our own fields, and the entire production takes place on the farm – from field to bottle. Organic terroir is central: modern and old Danish grain varieties are used for our single malt, and the malt is smoked with beech smoke. We distill only once and have built our own modern drum malting plant. These choices support our philosophy of making classic single malt, but in our own way through a fully integrated chain – from field to cask to bottle. We also describe our offering as a combination of local terroir, natural ingredients and craftsmanship, giving our whisky a clear identity.

About the Colors: The Seven Colors of Thy

We have introduced seven colors as a visual way to convey different flavor profiles and stylistic directions within Thy Whisky. The colors help connect customers to the expected tasting experiences – for example, colors are described in relation to aging, smoking and cask influence, aiding purchase guidance without needing to know the bottle’s name in advance.

Philosophy

Thy Whisky emphasizes ecology and earthiness. We express our philosophy through: - Organic terroir: Using organic grain from our own fields and the entire production on the farm – from field to bottle. - Unique Danish approach: Classic single malt, but we follow our own path to flavor through a single distillation and a self-built drum malting plant. - Beech-smoked malt and grain varieties: We smoke the malt with beech smoke and use both modern and old Danish grain varieties. - Recognition and identity: Our 4-year beech-smoked single malt “Bøg” was named Best European Whisky in Jim Murray’s Whisky Bible 2020 – just 10 years after the first cask was filled. - The seven colors of Thy: We use seven colors to describe and help visitors and buyers find bottles that suit their tastes and preferences – a visual way to understand our flavor universe and the differences between small and large bottlings.
