The Daftmill Lowland Single Malt Summer Batch Release 2011 is a Lowland single malt Scotch whisky from the small Daftmill Distillery in Fife, Scotland. This family-run farm distillery occupies a special place within the Scottish whisky landscape, as whisky production is integrated into the annual farming cycle. Distillation takes place primarily during quieter periods between the labour-intensive phases on the farm. Whisky distilled in 2011 has been used for this Summer Batch Release. Daftmill relies on barley grown on its own land for its production, thereby directly linking agriculture and whisky-making. This edition is bottled at 46% ABV, allowing the characteristic, elegant style of the Lowland distillery to shine through unadulterated.

The Daftmill Distillery was founded by the Cuthbert family on Daftmill Farm and was granted its distilling licence in 2005. The water used in whisky production comes from the distillery’s own spring on the farm grounds, whilst the modest scale of production means that Daftmill bottlings are released onto the market only in relatively limited quantities. The Daftmill Summer Batch Release 2011 is thus a prime example of the distillery’s consistent ‘farm-to-bottle’ approach. Unlike many larger Scottish distilleries, the sourcing of raw materials, agriculture and distillation form a particularly close-knit whole here. The combination of the 2011 vintage, small-scale production, Lowland origins and a family-run farm distillery makes this 0.7-litre bottling particularly appealing to connoisseurs of independent Scottish single malts.
