About Fary Lochan Citrus Gin
In rural surroundings just south of the town of Give, a long-standing dream has become reality. Jens-Erik Jørgensen's dream was to create a Danish whisky with Danish roots and a unique taste. Jens-Erik had a childhood on Funen and a lasting impression was when his mother made smoked cheese using the smoke from fresh nettles. And with that memory, he started smoking his own malt over nettles many years old later. Today, the dream has materialized in the form of a beautifully designed distillery with a whole range of unique products in several genres.
Making uncompromising and unique whisky is a slow affair that takes several years old before you can tap and truly enjoy the fruit of years of work and aging. So it was only natural for the family business to take advantage of the wait with something sensible. Today, the portfolio has expanded with both snaps, liqueur and very high quality gin and they are all made with the same philosophy, thoroughly, uncompromisingly and carefully with faith in the Danish roots. With an increasing and wide recognition as a result.
Fary Lochan makes an excellent Classic Gin, mild and soft with notes of citrus and cucumber that can only evoke good summer memories. With this as a base, their Fary Lochan Gin Citrus was born, which turned out to be an extremely pleasant acquaintance, with a little extra citrus and lime added to good effect. The color is delicately golden and everything is balanced perfectly and it can easily be enjoyed as it is or, for example, with a neutral tonic, ice cubes, cucumber strips and a little Szechuan pepper. Or you can use it in your cheesecake
About the cookbook: Mad med promillerDuring the spring, the two owners of the Nordic region's largest liquor store, Ulrik Bertelsen and Henrik Olsen, have been working to realize a long-standing dream. With the help of a good friend of the house, Jan Ohrt, the book Mad med Promiller #1 is now a reality and it was presented on Saturday, August 5, 2023 at an informal premiere in the more than 400
m2 store at Vejstruprødvej 15 in Sjølund.
The project has been created with the benevolent support of some of the store's suppliers and the idea is that it is given free of charge to customers every time they buy a bottle that is represented in the book. Whether physically from the store or from the webshop. The book is printed in 1000 copies and no more are being made, so you should probably not wait too long.
You can buy the book, but if you buy one of the products below, it is included in the purchase.
