Daftmill Winter Batch 2019 Release Single Malt Scotch Whisky 12 Year Old · 2007 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; mid-summer 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 the South fields and harvested in the last week of August 2006. It was then stored on the farm to be malted in Alloa during the summer of 2007.
This seven first fill ex bourbon barrels that make up this bottling, casks 023/2007, 024/2007, 025/2007, 027/2007, 032/2007, 035/2007 and 038/2007 were distilled and filled in November 2007.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Pale straw gold with sunlit honey highlights and a delicate, warm shimmer.
Nose
Freshly baked sponge cake, with cardamom and peach skin, unfurling into a delicate floral hint of gorse.
Palate
Vibrant and creamy, it delivers fresh vanilla, orchard fruits, toasted almond and a bright tangerine edge that lingers on the back-palate.
Finish
A warming, spice-forward finish unfolds, with a delicate hint of mashed banana lingering softly.
