Daftmill
Tasting Notes
Imagine sipping on a liquid sunshine straight from the Lowlands, where the golden barley fields stretch as far as the eye can see. The Daftmill 2005 Inaugural Release is a whisky that captures the essence of its terroir, a celebration of the Chariot barley grown on the distillery's own farm. From the moment you uncork the bottle, a delightful dance of aromas greets your senses – honeycomb sweetness, flapjacks fresh from the oven, and a refreshing hint of cloudy lemonade mingling with the warmth of hot cider. As it caresses your palate, a creamy barley note takes center stage, accompanied by a malty chocolate richness, the comforting familiarity of rye bread, and the subtle tang of waxy apple peels. The finish lingers with a buttery butterscotch sweetness, underscored by a whisper of fresh mint, leaving you longing for another sip of this liquid gold. With only 629 bottles produced, this inaugural release is a true gem, a testament to the passion and craft that goes into every drop of Daftmill whisky.
