Lowland Single Malt Scotch Whisky Distillery Bottling 70cl / 46% An old bottle of Daftmill 2010 Summer Batch Release Lowland single malt whisky bottled by the distillery in 2021 without colouring or chill filtration. Released early in 2022, Daftmill 2010-2021 Summer Batch Release is a limited edition of 6250 bottles (of which just over 800 were held back for the UK), assembled from a batch of 25 first fill ex-bourbon casks distilled in the summer of 2010, which was the last season that Daftmill used the Optic barley strain. This 'au naturel' style Daftmill is hugely popular, and this Daftmill 2010 Summer Batch Release is still highly sought after by the distillery's fans.

Palate: The palate is invigorating and vibrant bringing notes of sweet brioche, butter popcorn, lemon zest and an almost hop-like fruitiness before developing some fuller notes of dried apricot. Finish: The gentle finish shows a touch more vanilla and some lingering spice. A wonderfully rounded, well balanced Daftmill that begs to be quaffed on a warm summer’s day, if you have the willpower to make the bottle last until then.
