This was part of the SDT group, sampling, which now, seems like a hundred years ago when that journey took place. This unfortunately arrived with a cracked bottle top and I wound up with about a one ounce pour. But, one ounce is better than zero ounces.
A soft, sweet fruity and floral nose. Freshly sliced unripened apples spritzed with lime juice. Lightly toasted wheat bread, coconut shavings, tea and honey, cream soda with a mineral element of raw, freshly opened clam shells.
It arrives on the palate with a mild spicy edge with with flavors of vanilla, key lime, kiwi and almonds. The body is lightweight and velvety.
There’s a nice long finish that’s drying with plenty of oak tannins, sweetened lime juice.
A nice bouquet is bright, vibrant and luring with a palate . Though it is not broad in variety of flavors, those flavors that are very bold and distinctive. A nicely crafted spirit and I only wish I had more to experience. Thank to @Generously_Paul for the sample. [89/100][Tasted: 8/21/20]

I first heard of Daftmill about a week ago, but I'm hearing more and more good things!
Definitely a blast from the past that tour :-)
