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
The 2021 Summer Batch Release single malt from Daftmill was distilled in 2010 and matured exclusively in first-fill ex-bourbon barrels. Sweet malty aromas are complemented by notes of vanilla, honey, toasted oak, bitter almonds and crunchy apples throughout the palate.
Part of a limited releade of 6,250 bottles, this whisky has been bottled at a strength of 46% ABV.
Limited to 1 per customer - please note, stock is limited from secondary market releases.
Nose: Light and inviting with bright notes of lemon zest, and a touch of vanilla pods. Finally just a whiff of hops and some floral notes too. Delicate but fragrant.
Palate: Proper creamy mouthfeel followed by a lively and peppery arrival. A sprinkle of lemon zest and pickled ginger.
Finish: Touches of lemon pith, crème caramel and gentle spices. Medium in length.
