The team at Whisky Galore are proud to present this unique offering from the Daftmill distillery in Scotland. This single cask release was chosen exclusively for New Zealand by brothers Francis & Ian Cuthbert, and was made from barley grown at their farm in Cupar, Fife. With an annual production of less than 100 barrels a year, Daftmill is one of Scotland's smallest and most sought-after distilleries.
Cask 055, distilled in 2011 is made from Publican barley, harvested in 2009 and malted at Alloa in 2010. This Daftmill has a rich scent of citrus peels and oils, with floral honey and a syrupy medley of tropical fruits both tinned and fresh. This delicate and complex fruit character gives way to barley tones of buttery brioche and a mouth-filling, rounded oily texture. This dance of citrus and barley flavours is what defines Daftmill as a modern classic - one of Scotland's greatest Lowland distilleries.
