Denmark’s Fary Lochan distillery, is a small family distillery, run by three siblings, and their mother.
Founder Jens-Erik Jorgensen found inspiration from memories of smoked cheese from his mother used to smoke over fresh nettles. With these memories in mind, he picked up some fresh nettles, did the first tests of smoking his whisky-malt in 2009.
Sadly, Jens-Erik Jorgensen passed away in 2016.
Our second release from Fary Lochan is one of those rare nettle smoked malts, There’s a very short window of opportunity for harvesting fresh nettles for smoking, so this process is very limited.
This has been matured in an ex-rum Cask too
NOSE
Carrot cake, complete with butter icing! Herbal brambles, nutty malt, rum soaked raisins, and there’s a hint of tangerine too. This is pretty amazing to nose!
TASTE
Oily and herbal, and even a little salty, initially. Before turning sweet, with ripe greengages, golden plums, gooseberry fool, maple syrup, fragrant grasses, and pine nuts.
Wow!
This is superb!
ABOUT THE LABEL
