Made in Denmark
In Denmark, craftsmanship and conscience increasingly go hand in hand. Made in Denmark no longer refers only to where something comes from. It has become a way of working, founded on responsibility, innovation, and respect for resources. Across the country, producers are rethinking how food and spirits are made, showing that sustainability can be both elegant and efficient.
At Copenhagen Distillery, this philosophy shapes everything we do. Driven by passion and excellence, we craft 100% organic Whisky, Gin and Aquavit. Every drop we make is part of a circular system. The spent grain from our production of ultra premium whisky is repurposed as organic animal feed, while the fruit and herbs used in our botanical spirits such as gin and aquavit never go to waste. As we like to say, “Upcycled lemons from our production” are not just a story of sustainability, they are part of the taste itself.
The same principle guides our whisky production. Once the sugars have been extracted from our organic Danish barley, the spent grain becomes nutritious animal feed in partnership with local farmers. Nothing leaves the distillery unused. What starts in the field returns to it, completing a loop that feels both timeless and modern.
This mindset reflects a wider Danish approach. According to Invest in Denmark, the nation’s food production balances "economic viability with ecological and social considerations.”
National projects such as Food Upcycling, supported by the Danish Industry Foundation, help companies turn by-products into valuable raw materials, reducing food waste and carbon emissions across the value chain.

At Copenhagen Distillery, sustainability is not only an environmental responsibility. It is a creative challenge that makes our spirits and our work better. Reimagining ingredients and refining production connects our craft more closely to its origins. It is a modern interpretation of Danish craftsmanship that values precision, transparency, and respect for place.
"Made in Denmark" is a promise of purity and integrity. It reflects a culture where innovation is guided by care, and where nothing is wasted without purpose. Whether it is furniture or food, architecture or spirits, the true Danish luxury lies in knowing that excellence and responsibility can exist in every sip.
