Bottled in 2020, the Summer Batch Release was Daftmill’s first expression to bring together whisky matured in both bourbon and sherry casks. The Lowland spirit was distilled in 2009 and left to mature until bottling in 2020. From mango and cola cubes through clootie dumpling and toffee, this is a richly spiced dram with an exceptional sherried finish. Excellent as always!

Tasting Notes
Awards
Nose
The nose is initially quite shy, and this dram benefits from a little breathing time in the glass, those with patience are rewarded with a harmoniously balance of fresh tropical fruit reminiscent of mango and cola cubes with thicker aromas of dried figs and cigar boxes.
Palate
The palate is wonderfully spicey giving notes of clootie dumpling and lemon zest developing into something smoother with toffee notes and Fraserburgh butteries.
Finish
The finish is exceptional with the ex-sherry casks really shining through and waves of fresh fiery gingerbread lingering.
