Description
An official release of Daftmill, an 11 year old, from 2010, at 46%, 6250 bottles in all. Daftmill is a cult Fife farm distillery, its small releases keenly sought after. Water comes from a private well on the farm, the spirit run through a single pair of onion shaped stills.
The spirit was distilled slowly for a light, elegant Lowland spirit, to build a clean, fruity, grassy character. Ex-Bourbon casks held it, the gentle oak letting the delicate, fruity character lead. By the integrating teens the spirit rounds out, ethyl esters building a clean orchard fruit over the grassy malt. Vanillin and oak lactones from the wood lend vanilla and coconut over the floral malt. The clean spirit shows the cask clearly, vanilla and honey over a grassy citrus. The light, elegant spirit takes cask flavour gently while keeping its grass and citrus. Long ageing turns the fresh lemon towards honey, apple and a soft spice.
At an approachable 46% it is soft and easy. A delicate, fruity sweetness, with a soft vanilla from the oak. It is delicate and fruity, the elegant spirit shining through. The finish is light, fruity and clean. This is the patient farm malt of Fife.
