The Daftmill 2008 Winter Batch Release is a delightful single malt whisky hailing from the Lowlands. Distilled in 2008 and bottled in 2020, this limited-edition whisky has matured for twelve years in first-fill ex-bourbon barrels. With only 6,000 bottles available, each bottle contains whisky from 23 first-fill ex-bourbon barrels filled between February and April 2008. Daftmill Distillery, a family-owned farm distillery located in Fife, Scotland, was granted a license to produce whisky in 2005. The distillery operates seasonally, focusing on quality production during the farm's quiet periods, using long fermentations, small stills, and slow distillation to produce a light, fruity spirit. The barley used in this release, known as Optic, was grown in the distillery's South fields, harvested in August 2006, and malted in Alloa in the summer of 2007. This whisky boasts notes of vanilla, cinnamon custard, peaches, beeswax, and apricot jam, with an ABV of 46%. The Daftmill 2008 Winter Batch Release is a testament to the distillery's dedication to crafting exceptional whisky.
