Daftmill 2012 Winter Release

The Winter Batch 2012 highlights the rich, textural style typical of Daftmill’s winter distillations. Produced during the cooler months of 2012, the spirit develops added weight and pronounced cereal 
sweetness. A combination of first fill sherry hogsheads and bourbon barrels gives the whisky a layered profile: sherry casks add Christmas cake, dried fruits, oak and winter spices, while the bourbon casks bring barley sugar, buttery shortbread, vanilla and orchard fruits. The result is a round, mouth-coating whisky with a balanced sweetness and spice, finishing warm and lively in true winter character. 

For this release, 12 casks have been selected in total: 
• 5 First Fill Sherry Hogsheads 
• 7 First Fill Bourbon Barrels 

All spirit was distilled and filled in Winter 2012, then carefully matured on the estate before being vatted and bottled in 
February 2026. 

This is a quietly outstanding Daftmill release—complex yet understated, and a perfect showcase of the single-estate, 
seasonal ethos that sets the distillery apart.
