Daftmill Single Sherry Cask #97 Whisky 13 Year Old · 2011 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with coppery mahogany depth and a warm, ruby-tinted glow.

Nose

Dark sherry-soaked aromas unfurl with fig, raisin, prune, braided with treacle, toffee and cocoa nibs. Bright orange zest and almond paste lift the depth, while polished oak, cinnamon and burnt sugar lend warmth. A 13-year single sherry cask wraps the nose in luxurious sweetness, hinting at malt, honeyed fruit and quiet spice.

Palate

Luxuriously full-bodied with a satin, mouth-watering texture, this sherry-cask Daftmill delivers a wave of dark fruit and spice. Raisin, fig and cherry mingle with orange zest and roasted almond, wrapped in cocoa and toffee. Cinnamon, clove and nutmeg bloom amid a warm, oaken spine, while a subtle saline edge lingers. Velvet heat coats the palate, finishing long with lingering chocolate and fruit.

Finish

Rich, time-worn sherry folds through the finish, a long, luscious cascade of dried plum and fig, wrapped in plush spice and dark cocoa. Saffron and orange zest thread through velvet oak, leaving a warming trail that lingers with almond sweetness and a hint of resinous tannin. Persistent, refined, and comforting—an elegant finale that echoes the cask's noble influence.
