Whisky Maturation. Reinvented.
Welcome to the future of spirit crafting. At Dunrobin Distilleries, in proud partnership with Seven Seals Innovation AG, we’re helping lead a global shift in how premium whisky and spirits are matured, thanks to the revolutionary Stockhausen Method.
Invented by Dr. Dolf Stockhausen, a Swiss physicist and passionate whisky enthusiast, this patented method of accelerated finishing is changing the game for distilleries and consumers alike.
The Issue with Traditional Maturation
Traditional barrel aging is time-consuming, expensive, space-intensive, and heavily reliant on natural evaporation (the “angel’s share”). It also comes with a sizeable environmental footprint, as it demands significant resources; most notably, wood, space, and time.
The Stockhausen Method was developed to address these challenges without sacrificing flavour, complexity, or authenticity.
How It Works
The Stockhausen Method accelerates the natural interaction between spirit and wood, focusing on the diffusion of aromas and flavours at a molecular level. Through proprietary processes, including advanced pressure, temperature, and oxygen control, spirits are finished with extraordinary speed—achieving the taste complexity of years-long aging in mere weeks or months.
Instead of aging entirely in barrels, this method uses specially prepared wood elements, such as staves or chips, in a controlled environment to infuse the spirit with rich, layered character.
The process is:
- Natural: No additives or synthetic flavouring
- Efficient: Minimizes evaporation, waste, and warehouse storage
- Customizable: Tailored finishing for unique flavour expressions
- Repeatable: Ensures consistent results at scale
- Scalable: Ideal for both R&D and commercial production
The Environmental Advantage
The Stockhausen Method dramatically reduces the environmental impact of traditional whisky production:
- Minimal Wood Use – Eliminates the need for full-size barrels in finishing
- Lower Carbon Footprint – Reduced storage time, space, and shipping
- Less Evaporation Loss – Maximizes output per batch
- Energy Efficient – Designed with sustainability in mind
As the spirits industry embraces more sustainable practices, this method offers a forward-thinking alternative that aligns with both business goals and environmental responsibility.
