This is the Summer 2010 Daftmill bottling, distilled using Optic barley and crafted from a combination of 25 first fill bourbon barrels filled in July 2010, then bottled in 2021 at 46% vol. This was the last time the distillery used the barley variety Optic for distilling.

Tasting Notes
Drawn from the Summer production of 2010, this vatting of fresh bourbon casks gives wonderfully fruity aromas of tinned peaches in syrup, vanilla custard eclairs and sherbet lemons with a touch of hazelnut spread developing after a bit of time breathing in the glass. The palate is invigorating and vibrant bringing notes of sweet brioche, butter popcorn, lemon zest and an almost hop-like fruitiness before developing some fuller notes of dried apricot. The gentle finish shows a touch more vanilla and some lingering spice. A wonderfully rounded, well balanced Daftmill that begs to be quaffed on a warm summer’s day, if you have the willpower to make the bottle last until then…
