Daftmill – 15 Year Old Fife Strength 2009 (56.3%)

This is a 15 year old Lowland single malt from Daftmill, the family-run farm distillery in Fife. It was distilled in the summer of 2009 from Optic barley grown in the family's South fields, and bottled in December 2024 at 56.3%. Twenty casks went into the bottling: nineteen first-fill bourbon barrels and one ex-Pedro Ximenez sherry cask. The whisky matured in Warehouse 2. The nose has orchard fruits, honey and soft floral notes. The palate brings ripe apples, vanilla and gentle spice, with a touch of sherry sweetness from the PX cask. The finish is long and warming.
