Daftmill 2009 Summer Batch Release

Daftmill is a farm distillery. Owned and operated by the Cuthbert family, it only runs in the farm’s quiet periods; midsummer 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.
The barley variety Optic was grown in our south fields and harvested in the last week of August 2006. It was then stored on the farm to be malted in Alloa during the Summer of 2007
This first fill ex bourbon barrel was selected by Master of Malt, with one third of it being filled into miniature samples, in an attempt to let as many people as possible taste this whisky. It was distilled in our winter season being filled on the 28th April 2008 and has been bottled exclusively for Master of Malt.
