Review: Fary Lochan efterår batch 3

Now it’s time to review this beauty from Fary Lochan

Reviewed whisky: Fary Lochan efterår batch 3

Nose ?

Some sweet dates and fruity notes from the sherry cask, quite smooth and friendly on the nose despite 48.3% abv. Furthermore it’s oily, some grass and Stinging tobacco that has just burnt.

Palate ?
Creamy and spices at first then a lot of dark red fruits.
After letting the dram sit for a while the light smoke is growing a bit.

Finish ?
Medium long finish with some spices and put out tobacco leafs without the distinct tobacco aroma.

Conclusion ?
Very pleasant and delicate dram, I like the light smoke and creamy component in it. The dram is very complex and I think the smoked fresh nettles combined with the sherry cask makes it very special.
Fary Lochan distillery knows what they are doing and I hope they continue to innovate!

My rating 90/100
