Description

Daftmill Farmhouse was granted a license in 2003 allowing its first distillation to take place in December 2005. As an independent distiller, owner Francis Cuthbert's main aim was to produce a light Lowland whisky, but - as the site is still an active farm - the distillery has a silent season in spring and autumn whilst work happens in the fields. This specific release, a 2008 vintage, was bottled in 2021 for Kensington Wine Market. The barley variety Optic was grown in Daftmill's South fields and harvested in August 2006, then malted in Alloa during summer 2007. It was distilled in the winter season, filled on April 28, 2008, and bottled exclusively for Canada.

Nose
juicy malt, granola and soft fruits butt up against firm toasted oak. Let it breathe and the nose blooms with floral and fruity tones. Rose petals and spring flowers covered in dew. Honeydew and cantaloupe melons, dried apricot and bitter orange. Earthy dunnage notes and porcini mushrooms. Cherry Nibbs and cherry cola round things out.
Palate
once again the malt, oak and fruits are at the fore. More granola, malted barley and sweet toasted oak, and a faint touch of lovely funk. On the decadent side of things: honeycomb, almond paste and vanilla bean. The mouthfeel is viscous, spicy, and coating, verging on waxy. More melons, apricot, and citrus fruits: fresh squeeze lemon and lime zest. The cherry tones are still there, more Certs than cola, though the Nibbs are still present. Cinnamon hearts and candied ginger.
Finish
fresh, fruity and toasty, the finish is long, fresh, and coating. Decadent spices at the very end.
