Daftmill 15 - Fife Strength

Limited to one bottle per customer

From the heart of the Kingdom of Fife, Daftmill Distillery delivers yet another masterpiece. Family-owned and operated, this small-scale distillery is all about quality over quantity, and their 15-Year-Old Fife Strength release is no exception.

  • Distilled: 2009
  • Bottled: 2024
  • ABV: 56.3% (Fife Strength – bold and unrelenting)
  • Includes a cask of Pedro Ximenez Sherry

From the heart of Fife comes a whisky crafted with precision, patience, and authenticity. Daftmill is no ordinary distillery—it’s a working farm, owned and operated by the Cuthbert family. Producing whisky only in the farm’s quieter months—mid-summer and winter—this boutique operation is the definition of small-batch. With as few as 100 casks produced per year, every Daftmill release is a true rarity, and this 15-year-old is no exception.

The barley used to craft this Lowland single malt comes straight from the family’s South fields. The variety, Optic, is a classic in Scotch whisky production, known for its exceptional malting properties. Distilled in June, July, or August of 2009, this release is a time capsule of the care and tradition that define Daftmill.

Twenty carefully selected casks went into this bottling: 19 first-fill bourbon barrels and one exceptional ex-PX cask. The whisky has spent its life maturing in the cool, stable environment of Warehouse 2, with its lower level providing the perfect conditions for slow, steady aging. After 15 years of patient maturation, it was bottled in December 2024 at the traditional Fife strength, capturing the essence of the region’s whisky heritage.

Expect a nose that dances with orchard fruits, honey, and soft floral notes, leading into a silky palate of ripe apples, vanilla, and gentle spices, with a whisper of sherry sweetness from the PX influence. The finish is long, warming, and exquisitely balanced—a testament to the craftsmanship behind every bottle.

With its limited production and unrivaled quality, the Daftmill 15-Year-Old  is a must-have for whisky aficionados and collectors alike. A rare opportunity to taste Fife’s finest.

Daftmill is a small, family-run distillery nestled on a farm in Fife, within the Pitlair Estate. Located in the lush valley of the River Eden in Collessie Parish, the farm cultivates the barley used to craft their exceptional whisky. The distillery's debut bottling came in 2018, and since then, two new releases have been introduced each year. Due to limited production and overwhelming demand, these bottles are rare and highly sought after by collectors. The whisky itself is smooth, with a malty, fruity profile, and consistent notes of vanilla and toffee that shine through in every release.

Tasting Notes

This 15-Year-Old Daftmill is everything you expect from the distillery—and then some. The nose bursts with sweet tropical notes, underpinned by a rich, honeyed sweetness. On the palate, it’s classic Daftmill: barley sugar and malt shining through, but with an unexpected lift of sweet dark fruits that hints at a delicate touch of sherry. The finish? Deep, complex, and wonderfully long, proving you don’t need a dram as dark as night to deliver pure brilliance.
