A rare release from one of Scotland's smallest and most quietly revered distilleries. Daftmill is a working farm distillery in Fife, owned and operated by the Cuthbert family, who distil only during the farm's quieter periods — midsummer and winter — producing as few as 100 casks in some years. When he isn't distilling, Francis Cuthbert tends the estate and grows the malting barley used in every bottle, making Daftmill one of the most genuinely artisanal names in Scotch whisky.
This is Daftmill's second 15-year-old release, bottled exclusively for the UK Independent Retailers group and drawn from just thirteen first-fill ex-bourbon barrels, distilled in January and August 2007 and bottled in July 2023 at traditional "Fife strength" cask strength. With an outturn less than half of the previous year's release, bottles are exceptionally scarce.
Colour
Pale gold, light and bright.
Nose
Fresh and vibrant, with orchard fruit, vanilla, and honeyed cereal sweetness, layered with soft citrus and a delicate grassy Lowland character.
Palate
Rich and full at cask strength, opening with ripe pear and honey, developing into toffee, warm spice, and a satisfying malty depth.
Finish
Long and warming, with lingering vanilla sweetness, gentle spice, and a final note of fresh orchard fruit.
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.
