This points to a more firmly herbal, cereal-led style than an immediately plush one, with pepper and bitterness keeping the sweetness in check. The richer turn is specifically with water: creamier texture and buttery oatcakes make that detail especially appealing to me. I like that the description leaves room for both sides, from dusty malt bins and hay on the nose to floral notes and warm, bitter herbs at the finish. There’s plenty of character here without everything leaning sweet.
The dry-sweet balance and herbal, peppery edge sound appealing. The dusty, firm character seems less easygoing, but gives this Daftmill a more unusual direction.

Herbal and peppery, with a firm, dry edge.
