Description

A farm distillery owned and run by the Cuthbert family, Daftmill is operational only during the farm's quiet periods in mid-summer and mid-winter, sometimes producing as few as 100 casks per year. It has been operational since 2005, releasing its first whisky in 2018. This 2008 Single Cask bottling was released exclusively for The Ceres Inn to mark its 300th anniversary.

Nose
an immediate summery sweetness that incorporates baked apples, custard, sultanas and flower honeys. Some more assertive cask sweetness at the fore, which opens up with time towards sultanas, sauternes and menthol sweets. Water brings brighter fruit notes of yellow plum, white flowers, mango syrup and some rich tones of olive oil and fresh bread.
Palate
rich and sweet with many natural herbal extracts. Soft grassy tones, olive oil cake, brioche, flower honey and golden sultanas. A thicker and more wood-forwards expression but one which shows layered depth and complexity. Water reveals a beautifully balanced profile that matches cask sweetness with many flower pollens, sultanas, ripe orchard fruits and some greener and grassier tones.
Finish
medium, grassy, richly bready and once again on sultana notes with some chamomile, olive oil and dried flowers.
