Thy Whiskey Distillery • Raw rusted steel façade in Snedsted

Weathering steel frames Thy Whisky

Can whisky be made in Denmark? Yes, of course. In Thy, the family-owned Thy Whisky Distillery produces award-winning whisky with roots at Gyrup farm, whose history dates back to the early 14th century.

Today, the farm is run by the eighth generation, and it was here that the whisky adventure began in 2010. The crops are grown in the farm’s own fields, and the distillery works with heritage Nordic grain varieties, local roots and a clear ambition to prioritise quality over mass production.

Thy Whisky is closely connected to its location. As co-owner Jakob Stjernholm says: “Thy Whisky is tied to this place, so you should be able to taste the fields and the grain in every single sip.”

A façade with the same character as the product

When a product is built on craftsmanship, time and the distinctive character of its location, the building must also convey that story. The façade cladding is therefore an important part of the overall experience at Thy Whisky Distillery.

Format Rust accentuates both the brand and the landscape surrounding the distillery. The weathered surface has a raw and honest appearance, while the partial perforation featuring the logo and ears of grain makes the façade an active part of the story of whisky production.

Together with Trapezplade 20-115 roof cladding, the steel cladding provides the distillery with a robust framework for storage and production. Format Rust will develop a patina over time, and this gradual transformation is a natural fit for a product in which time is a crucial aspect of quality.

Format is available in the Nature, Rust and Colour variants. The flat 3 mm steel sheet is made to measure and offers great freedom for façades where the material is intended to be more than mere cladding. At Thy Whisky Distillery, the steel becomes part of the identity: raw, simple and with a character that matches the location.
