Daftmill Ex-Bourbon Single Cask #038/2009 Whisky (UK Exclusive) 11 Year Old · 2009 Vintage
Out of stock
Daftmill is a farm distillery. Owned and operated by the Cuthbert family, it only runs in the farm’s quiet periods; midsummer and winter, sometimes producing as few as 100 casks per year. When not distilling, Francis Cuthbert looks after the estate, growing the malting barley used to make this Lowland whisky.
The barley variety Optic was grown in our south fields and harvested in the last week of August 2006. It was then stored on the farm to be malted in Alloa in the Summer of 2007.
This first fill Bourbon barrel was selected by Francis Cuthbert from Daftmill and Jonny McMillan from BB&R. It was distilled in our summer season being filled on the 27th July 2009 and has been bottled exclusively for the United Kingdom.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Pale straw gold, with a delicate sunlit warmth and subtle honeyed glints.
Nose
A green and exceptionally fresh nose, focused on cut grass, wildflowers and warm greenhouses, with whispers of pollen, bread dough and undergrowth. Pure, natural and evocative. With a touch of water, cereals emerge along with white pepper, breads and notes of crushed oatcake and pressed flowers.
Palate
Once again a firmer and leaner profile that remains fresh with lots of orchard and green fruits, pollen-heavy flowers in bloom, grassy olive oil and notes of slightly tannic fruit teas. Feels tautly structured in the mouth and wonderfully crisp and poised. With water there are sweeter cereal notes such as flapjack with dried apricot and barley water.
Finish
A long, crisp finish, richly bready, with beer notes, hops and white flowers lingering in the aftertaste.
