Daftmill Single Cask #013/2008 12 Year Old, 2021, 57.6%

The sweetness is present but well balanced: boiled lime sweets, pineapple and a little marzipan meet toasted cereals, white pepper and milk stout. That contrast gives this single malt a satisfyingly substantial character without making the sweeter notes dominate. The drying finish, focused on cereal and floral notes, feels like a natural continuation rather than an abrupt change. The documented complexity and balance make this a particularly appealing direction for someone who enjoys sweetness with firmer, less sugary elements alongside it.
