Daftmill - Summer Release Asia 2009 | Single Malt Scotch Whisky

The 2009 Summer Batch Release from Daftmill has matured in a first-fill oloroso sherry cask and three ex-bourbon casks until it was bottled in 2020. Aromas of tropical fruit, cola cubes, dried figs and cigar box fill the nose, complemented by notes of lemon zest, toffee, biscuits and freshly-baked gingerbread.

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.

The barley variety Optic was grown in the 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-Oloroso butt and four ex-Bourbon barrels that make up this bottling were distilled and filled in June and July 2009.

This is Daftmill‘s first release to contain whisky matured in both bourbon and sherry casks. Cask 016/2009, 020/2009, 022/2009, 023/2009 & 027/2009
