A great opportunity to sample Daftmill 15 year old, launched in 2022. This excellent Lowland single malt was distilled in 2006 and matured in 1st fill ex-bourbon barrels, then bottled at cask strength, 55.7% vol.
We politely ask those that managed to purchased a full size bottle from ourselves, to refrain from purchasing a sample to allow others that missed out an opportunity to do so. The samples will be sent out via our usual courier partners, so normal shipping costs will apply.
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.
