Daftmill 2008 Winter 2020 Release - 46% 70cl

Daftmill Distillery is one of Scotland's newer single malt Scotch whisky distilleries, located in the heart of Fife, in a converted barn at Daftmill Farm.

In 2005, the distillery was granted a licence to produce whisky and the first whisky was produced on 16 December 2005.

Built in a converted meal mill and using un-peated malt, Daftmill has a maximum production capacity of only 20,000 litres of alcohol per year, making it a very low volume distillery.

Their first release was introduced as Daftmill 2005-12 Year Inaugural Release.

This expression has been created using a combination of 23 first fill ex-bourbon barrels which have been laid down to mature for over a decade before there was just 6,000 bottles produced at a strength of 46% abv.

Please note, stock is limited from secondary market releases.

Nose: A good helping of vanilla essence, and spiced custard appearing on the nose.

Palate: The palate is pleasingly balanced with spicy oak pairing nicely the fruiter distillate notes, some caramelised brown sugar, cocktail bitters, praline and banana notes all emerge with time.

Finish: Wood spice is dominant on the finish giving long waves of cinnamon and dried ginger.
