Maltiply Tasting Profile
Nose
a rather dusty profile, one that's all about wooden malt bins, heather ales, porridge with honey and freshly bailed hay. There's also hints of lamp oil, sandalwood and other unusually firm attributes you don't always find in Daftmill. With water it gathers sweetness and takes on some aromas of eucalyptus and rolling tobacco.
Palate
nicely herbal on arrival, a good balance of dryness and sweetness, with an elegantly bitter and peppery aspect in the mid-palate. Continues with some floral notes, rich cereal tones and more impressions of classic beers and ales. With water it becomes creamier and richer in the mouth, some greener notes of chlorophyll and crushed flower stems, along with buttery oatcakes and turmeric.
Finish
medium in length, but nicely powerful with peppery warmth and clean, bitter herbal notes.

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.

A clearly named bourbon cask is a plus, and the notes sound more interesting than simply sweet: herbal and rich in cereal, with peppery bitterness keeping things dry. That balance suits me, though the firmer edges may not be for everyone.
