An exciting new release from Daftmill distillery, distilled in 2006 using Chariot barley harvested on the farm's Dam Park and Curling Pond fields in 2004. This 2022 bottling of Daftmill 15 year old has been crafted from Lowland single malt matured in first fill ex-bourbon barrels for 15 years then bottled in 2022 at natural cask strength, 55.7% vol.
'A classy, self-possessed dram, well worthy of joining the ranks of distillery-defining, iconic 15-year-old releases from Scotland’s stalwart distilleries; Laphroaig, Glendronach and dare I say… Rosebank.' - Jonny McMillan
Tasting Notes
Awards
Nose
The nose offers freshly baked apple sponge, spiced vanilla custard suggesting quality first fill ex-bourbon barrels, but the real weight comes from light green fruits and malty notes shining through from the distillate.
Palate
This theme continues on the palate with a perfect balance of oak and distillate; desiccated coconut, warm gorse flower, lemon zest and beeswax mingle before a further burst of citrus on the back palate.
Finish
A mouth-watering finish shows oak spice, the merest whiff of malty wood smoke and a final suggestion of stewed peaches. A classy, self-possessed dram, well worthy of joining the ranks of distillery-defining, iconic 15-year-old releases from Scotland’s stalwart distilleries; Laphroaig, Glendronach and dare I say… Rosebank.
