DAFTMILL - Summer 2010 Edition European Batch B.Bros - 46%<\/strong><\/span><\/p>
Daftmill<\/strong> is an authentic family farm located in the heart of the Howe of Fife<\/strong>, in the Lowlands<\/strong>, an iconic region of Scotland<\/strong>. This diversified farm grows vegetables such as carrots, broccoli, potatoes, as well as cereals, mainly brewing barley, while raising quality beef cattle. In June 2003, Francis and Ian Cuthbert<\/strong>, passionate about whisky and attached to their terroir, applied for a building permit to convert the old family mill buildings into a craft distillery. Restoration work and equipment installation were carried out from 2004 to the end of 2005, when they obtained their official distillation license.<\/p>
To ensure impeccable quality and authenticity, they called on local craftsmen from the Cupar area for the renovation of the buildings and the custom manufacture of equipment, except for the stills (one of 3,000 liters and one of 2,000 liters) and the mash tun, supplied by the famous coppersmith Forsyths based in Rothes. Daftmill distillery produced its very first whisky on December 16, 2005, becoming the newest distillery to open in Scotland at that time. The first bottles were marketed in May 2018.<\/p>
This project is unique: the distillery uses exclusively barley grown on its own lands as well as pure water from their private well, anchoring production in an exceptional terroir. Operating on a traditional and seasonal agricultural model, the distillery mainly runs in winter and early summer, when farming activities are less intense. In spring, the farmers focus on sowing barley, planting potatoes, and managing livestock. This production cycle in harmony with the natural rhythm of the seasons is rare in Scotland, where it has not been practiced for over 100 years, explaining the limited production of only 100 casks per year<\/strong>, thus ensuring a rare and exceptional product.<\/p>
This limited edition of Daftmill 2010<\/strong> comes from the Optic barley variety, carefully grown in the fields called "South fields" of the farm. The barley is then stored locally before being malted and distilled during the summer of 2010. The whisky is a meticulous blend of 25 first-fill casks<\/strong> that previously held bourbon from the Clermont Springs distillery in Kentucky, carefully selected by the famous wine and spirits merchant Berry Bros & Rudd<\/strong>. Bottling took place in 2021, with an exclusive production of 6,250 bottles<\/strong>.<\/p>
Non-peated whisky, pure expression of the Scottish terroir<\/em><\/p>
Clos des Spiritueux<\/strong> is proud to offer you this rare gem, an exceptional whisky that will delight connoisseurs and discerning enthusiasts seeking authenticity, quality, and history rooted in the Scottish terroir.<\/p>
