The same smoky cask-ageing as its bigger sibling, but in a format you can finish in a couple of minutes – a small bottle with big character.
The Expert's Description
Fary Lochan Miniature Fadlagret Snaps Danish Akvavit is a Danish aquavit from the distillery in Farre near Give, bottled in a compact 5 cl format at 47% ABV.
The snaps is identical to the distillery's 20 cl version: fresh nettle snaps that has rested 2 years in a used Laphroaig cask. The cask gives a distinct smoky character reminiscent of Scotch whisky, simply packed into a format that's easy to share or carry.
The miniature is ideal for anyone wanting to taste their way into cask-aged snaps before committing to a larger bottle, or as a small, distinctive gift for the whisky lover in the family.
