The Daftmill 15 Year Old 2009 Fife Strength is the third release of Daftmill's oldest permanent age statement and a superb example of this highly sought-after Lowland farm distillery's distinctive house style. Distilled during the summer months of June to August 2009 using Optic barley grown in the South Fields of the Cuthbert family farm, the whisky was bottled in December 2024 after 15 years of maturation.
This small-batch release combines 19 first-fill ex-bourbon barrels with one ex-Pedro Ximénez sherry cask—the first time a Daftmill 15 Year Old has incorporated sherry-matured whisky. Matured in the lower level of Warehouse 2 and bottled at the traditional Fife Strength of 56.3% ABV, it retains the distillery's elegant, cereal-led character while introducing an extra layer of dark fruit richness from the PX cask.
Limited to 3,840 bottles, this release is bottled at natural cask strength, with no added colouring and no chill filtration, preserving the whisky's full texture and complexity. Produced in extremely small quantities each year, Daftmill remains one of Scotland's rarest farm distilleries, making every official release highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts alike.

Nose
Bright tropical fruit, rich sweetness and classic Daftmill elegance.

Daftmill
Founded 2005
Chances are you may have heard of this Fife farm distillery, but have never seen a bottle at retail? That’s because of huge consumer demand versus the small production from farmer and distiller, Francis Cuthbert, who focuses on quality, not quantity. Founded in 2005, Daftmill unlike many distilleries, waited until the whisky was ready. The inaugural bottle arrived 12 years later and since then we’ve seen a variety of single casks and seasonal batch releases entitled Summer and Winter. Distributed by Berry Brothers & Rodd based in London, the Lowland charms of Daftmill revive memories of Rosebank. The distillery takes terroir to another level with the farmer growing, distilling and maturing the whisky on the farm that started the whole process. It’s a very traditional Scottish model, lost in today’s world of efficiencies and scale. Daftmill is sought after and celebrated for some excellent whiskies.
