2007 Daftmill Winter Release 46%

Bottled in 2020 at 46% and limited to 1690 bottles. Colour: white gold. On the nose: a signature Daftmill nose with a lovely array of juicy meadow fruits and a touch of cinnamon with a slice of orange peel. Vanilla doesn’t hide the presence of depth or body, with a rich oiliness and buttery pancakes. Then there are wafer cones, toffee, Royal icing, peaches and a floral note throughout. Water makes things creamier and more honeyed. In the mouth: creamy vanilla mixed in with those meadow fruits once again. Some marzipan, almonds and pecans with caramel on the finish. An enjoyable slice of bitterness in what is an elegant and gentle dram. Water reveals more fruits and a tangy nature with more oils unlocked. 8/10
