Official tasting notes.
“The nose is initially quite shy, and this dram benefits from a little breathing time in the glass, those with patience are rewarded with a harmoniously balance of fresh tropical fruit reminiscent of mango and cola cubes with thicker aromas of dried figs and cigar boxes. The palate is wonderfully spicey giving notes of clootie dumpling and lemon zest developing into something smoother with toffee notes and Fraserburgh butteries. The finish is exceptional with the ex-sherry casks really shining through and waves of fresh fiery gingerbread lingering.”

Description
The expression uses Optic barley that was grown in the south fields of the property and harvested in the last week of August 2006. It was then stored on the farm to be malted during the summer of 2007.
This batch is a marriage of a first fill ex-oloroso butt and four ex-bourbon barrels distilled and filled in June and July 2009. The whisky was then bottle in 2020 and is Daftmill’s first release to contain whisky matured in both bourbon and sherry casks.
