3.75
3.75 out of 5 stars
Nose: sour grapes and lemon. Light generic floral and foresty notes. A dense malty honey starts to develop after a time.
Taste: light peat and malt turn into a light floral honey with orange and a denser toffee or caramel.
Bought 3 bottles of this Daftmill 2006 summer release of 1680 bottles exclusively for the US market. The story behind Daftmill is unique where the Cuthbert brothers grow and malt their own barley, distillation and aging are all done in the farm. Daftmill is the only distillery from Scotland that does this from top to bottom all in house.
Color: light gold
Nose: very fragrant, pear, sweet honey suckle, rose petals, mint.
Palate: light sweet barley, creamy arrival, honey, light viscosity, then fresh fruits, the warmth of the alcohol shines through and the oak bitterness lingers at the back.
Finish: medium long, the honey sweetness lingers with the oakiness makes you wanna keep sipping.
This is a well crafted and balanced single malt from a single farm. The nose is amazing and I can smell it all day everyday. The palate is delicate and delivers to the high promise of the nose.
All in all this is a great bottle, it’s very rare too and if you can get a bottle at the retail price, it’s well worth the price. The hype is real.
