Daftmill 2011 Single Cask #96 Royal Mile Whiskies Exclusive

Daftmill is a farm distillery. Owned and operated by the Cuthbert family, it only runs in the farm’s quiet periods; mid-summer and winter, sometimes producing as few as 100 casks per year. When not distilling, Francis Cuthbert looks after the estate, growing the malting barley used to make this Lowland whisky.

This is the 2nd exclusive cask that Royal Mile have bottled with Daftmill.

TASTING NOTES
Nose: Fresh stone fruits, caramel, cocoa, a hint of wax, then the remnants of a chocolate box. 
Palate: An elegant chewy texture emerges revealing oranges, apricots and rye spice. Then after some time chestnut honey and raisins. 
Finish: Some spice continues but then floral, citrus peel before dark chocolate and honey drenched stone fruits.
