Daftmill 2008 Cask 013 (Whiskybase Exclusive)

Hailing from Scotland's iconic farm distillery, this Daftmill was bottled exclusively for the members of Whiskybase. A fairly singular nose awaits, featuring lemon tea, porridge and strong notes of vanilla. It's cereal-rich, green and floral, and I can literally smell the barn. Waves of spice hit the palate, very punchy, grassy and vanillin-driven. Water releases more flavors. Pineapple, banana bread and a touch of soda develop, leading into the zesty, gingery and semidry aftertaste. A strong reminder that whisky is meant for drinking - it is one to sip, and not to flip!
