Frequently asked questions about Fary Lochan 2010/2013 Autumn Batch 01

What makes this bottle historically interesting?

It is one of the earliest bottlings from Fary Lochan's first years of production. A three-year Danish single malt from 2010 tells the story of a distillery in its very first phase – and these batches are rare precisely because there were few of them.

What is a three-year whisky?

The EU requires a minimum of three years of cask maturation before something can be called whisky. Fary Lochan 2010/2013 was bottled precisely at that threshold – a deliberate experiment at the time.

What is it useful for today?

As a collector item. Whisky from a distillery's very first years with limited supply tends to gain interest over time, especially from recognised producers. The flavour is young – but the story is rare.

Is it enjoyable to drink?

Yes. A young single malt is not flawed – it is just a different style. Fresh, malty, and light is what it delivers. Those who prefer heavier, more mature whiskies may prefer to hold onto it.

What is Batch 01?

Batch 01 is the first bottling from the autumn 2010 distillation. Fary Lochan bottles in numbered batches, and Batch 01 is always the first release of a given expression.

Is there chill filtration?

No, Fary Lochan bottles without chill filtration and with natural colour.
