Daftmill 2011-2024 Winter Batch Release 46%

Nose: Beautifully fragrant and elegant, as I’ve come to expect from these batches. The bright notes of lemon zest accompany the light floral touches well. There’s a tinge of ripe banana, a pleasant leafiness and grainy pears, as well as some crisp apples and mirabelles. Finally some distant oak spices.
Taste: Thick, coating mouthfeel that’s a great carrier of flavour. As always, there’s a pinch of pepper on the arrival, but rather mellow. It’s the hints of banana candy, marzipan and freshly cut grass that stand out. Touches of cloves too, as well as a sliver of citrus and honeysuckle.
Finish: Medium length. Mostly just more of the same, which is a good thing. Lingering on the sweeter notes.
