Description

Daftmill Farmhouse was granted a license in 2003, with its first distillation in December 2005. As an independent distiller, owner Francis Cuthbert's main aim was to produce a light Lowland whisky. The distillery operates during the farm's quiet seasons (spring and autumn) as it is still an active farm, and all barley used is grown on Daftmill Farm. This particular release is a 2006 Single Cask #048, bottled in 2019 at 12 years old, and was the first exclusive bottling for Taiwan. It was matured in a first-fill Bourbon barrel and yielded only 201 bottles.

Nose
The first whiff is estery, with a tiny hint of acetone, then something akin to cold butter and apricot jam on fresh baguette. It shifts into the world of florals: freesia, nemesia, candied rose petal, then elderflower blossom. Delicate, with subtle vanilla ice cream and lemon zest. With water, it becomes like fragrant sunshine, along with jasmine, pineapple, lemon leaf, pine needles, daffodil, camomile, and mixed fragrant herbs (rosemary/oregano).
Palate
A soft, silky start with a chewy mid-palate accompanied by light pricks of fresh ginger, then the sweet floral lift. Precise, with lovely balance; some soft marshmallow, then pink fruits and heady, herby, floral elements. Gentle, but has real presence.
Finish
Zingy acidity, then a gentle fade.
