Daftmill Distillery is situated near Cupar in Fife, making it one of just seventeen Lowland distilleries currently releasing whisky, with 6 more under construction or active but not yet releasing. What makes Daftmill unique is the traditional nature of the production schedule - Daftmill is a true farm distillery. All the barley used for production is farmed by Francis on the estate. The whisky is all distilled by Francis and Ian Cuthbert in the farm off season; two months in summer and two months in winter – this is a very traditional way of running a distillery that hasn’t been seen in Scotland since the 1800s.

The barley variety Concerto was grown in the south fields and harverested on the 2nd and 3rd of September of 2011, and then dried and stored on the farm to be malted in Alloa during the spring of 2012. 

The 23 first-fill barrels in this release, which had previously been used to mature bourbon, were matured on the upper level of our dunnage warehouse. They were filled into cask in July and August of 2012 and bottled in June 2025 at 46% ABV, natural colour and no chill filtration.
