Private Collection Daftmill Summer 2008 - 2019 70cl 46%

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.

The six first fill ex bourbon barrels that make up this bottling were distilled and filled in summer 2008. Casks 056/2008, 058/2008, 060/2008, 062/2008, 065/2008 and 066/2008.

TASTING NOTES

A deep vanilla aroma reminiscent of crème brulee appear immediately, with some tinned peaches, dried cocoa powder and a delicate grassy note building.   Fresh fruit explodes on the palate with green apples, pears and some melon, developing into soft peach and a slight tropical note, there’s also a pleasant herbaceous almost earthy note on the mid palate.  The oak appears again on the finish, offering vanilla pods, clove, cinnamon and some melted honey.

This is from a Private Collection.   

Please refer to the photos for neck height and condition of labels / boxes (if available) to ensure you are happy to buy them.  We are very happy to send more photos if requested.

As these are rare and private bottles we cannot offer any refunds once sent out.
