Stork Club Smoky Rye

Charred. Spiced. Fearlessly German.

When rye meets smoke, something unforgettable happens — and the Stork Club Smoky Rye is proof of it. Crafted in the heart of Germany’s Spreewald, this whiskey takes 100% German rye and infuses it with a whisper of beechwood smoke, creating a dram that is both familiar and entirely new. It’s a bold, intriguing expression that plays with contrasts: the natural spice of rye against the earthy, savoury depth of smoke.

Each sip unfolds like a story told by firelight. The first impression is warmth — peppery rye grain and toasted oak — quickly joined by waves of smoky sweetness that roll gently across the palate. Hints of dark caramel, roasted nuts, and a touch of vanilla round it out, while the finish lingers with a smoky embrace that invites another taste.

More than just a whiskey, Stork Club Smoky Rye feels like a bridge between traditions: the robust spice of rye from American roots, the precision of German craftsmanship, and the allure of smoke reminiscent of peated classics. Whether enjoyed neat by the fire, splashed into an Old Fashioned, or shared among friends on a long evening, this whiskey delivers character, warmth, and a hint of rebellion. For whiskey lovers in Ireland, it’s a chance to discover rye in an entirely new light, with smoky depth that rivals the greats while offering something refreshingly different.

Why we love it:
For fans of peated Scotch or bold American rye, this bottle offers the best of both worlds. It’s complex, modern, and wonderfully drinkable — a smoky dram with German terroir and edge.
