Description
This official Daftmill, a 13 year old, from 2011, cask 094-098-099/2011, at 56.3%, 615 bottles in all. Daftmill is the patient farm malt of the Cuthbert brothers, distilled around the farming year. Each release is small and quickly allocated, prized by collectors of the new wave of Scotch.
It was drawn off the onion shaped stills of the Fife farm, for a light, floral make of real finesse. It was matured in refill ex-Bourbon oak, vanilla and a soft honey behind the grassy spirit. Through integration spirit and wood marry, vanillin settling into vanilla as ethyl esters lend a riper green apple and pear. Refill oak lets the delicate Daftmill character lead, lemon and green apple beneath. The farm's own barley and a slow distillation give a clean, elegant spirit. Daftmill's restraint and patience are reckoned a model of the modern Lowland style. It is one of the smallest distilleries in Scotland, with a tiny annual output.
At a hearty 56.3% it carries real weight. A delicate, fruity sweetness, with a soft vanilla from the oak. It is delicate and fruity, the elegant spirit shining through. A long, honeyed finish carries a citrus lift. This is Daftmill, the cult farm distillery of Fife.
