Daftmill is a farm distillery, owned and run by the Cuthbert family, who grow all of the barley used in their whisky on-site. The distillery is only operational during the farm's quiet periods in mid-summer and mid-winter, sometimes producing as few as 100 casks per year. The distillery was granted its license in 2005, but not in a hurry to rush out their product, it was 2018 before their inaugural release. This patience and dedication to their craft has won the distillery an army of passionate fans, among collectors and connoisseurs alike.
This was the somewhat tardy Summer 2019 release, which was not actually available until much later that year. Distilled 2008 using optic barley harvested from the farm's South fields in August 2006. It was malted in Alloa in 2007.
Filled from six first-fill bourbon barrels, #56, #58, #60, #62, #65 and #66, producing 1,760 bottles.
