SOLD OUT!
Limit 2 Per Customer! This presumably 13-year-old Daftmill is the first single cask from the distillery to come to Canada, and it is all ours... Distilled in 2008, from barley grown in 2006 and malted in 2007, the whisky was filled into a First Fill ex-Bourbon Barrel on April 28, 2008. It was bottled in 2021, after 13 years at 56.8%.
700 mlAndrew's Tasting Note
Nose: juicy malt, granola and soft fruits butt up against firm toasted oak; let it breathe and the nose blooms with floral and fruity tones; rose petals and spring flowers covered in dew; honeydew and cantaloupe melons, dried apricot and bitter orange; waxy; earthy dunnage notes and porcini mushrooms; Cherry Nibbs and cherry cola round things out.
Palate: once again the malt, oak and fruits are at the fore; more granola, malted barley and sweet toasted oak, and a faint touch of lovely funk; on the decadent side of things: honeycomb, almond paste and vanilla bean; the mouthfeel is viscous, spicy, and coating, verging on waxy; more melons, apricot, and citrus fruits: fresh squeeze lemon and lime zest; the cherry tones are still there, more Certs than cola, though the Nibbs are still there; cinnamon hearts and candied ginger.
Finish: fresh, fruity and toasty, the finish is long, fresh, and coating; decadent spices at the very end.
Comment: it is an honour and a privilege to have been offered an exclusive cask of Daftmill; that the whisky happens to be lovely, which is not a surprise, is icing on the cake; this is as naked and expression of Daftmill as we've seen yet, bursting with soft, malty, and fruity flavour!
