Daftmill 2011 Summer Batch Release
$184.99
This whisky was featured on Day 17 of our 2025 KWM Still Not An Advent Calendar Tasting Series! You can read more about the whisky here.
We have a new release from Scotland's smallest distillery... I can't back up that statement about them being Scotland's smallest distillery, but it was on their website. Given there is only one man making the whisky, and he only distills when he's not farming... it is probably true. What is undeniable is that the whiskies are lovely, legitimately rare, and in my opinion, it might be one of the best batches we've seen on this side of the Atlantic!
