Daftmill is a family farm situated in the Howe of Fife. Their main enterprises are growing cereals, mainly malting barley, rearing beef cattle and growing potatoes.

Other than the stills and the mash tun which came from coppersmiths Forsyths in Rothes, all the other equipment and work to convert the buildings and create the distillery was supplied by local craftsmen from around the Cupar area. In the distillery they use the barley that they grow on the farm and water from their own artesian well to make our whisky.

The palate is lush and oily with orchard fruits (pears and apples), white chocolate, malted biscuits, and a touch of white pepper or ginger spice. Leading to a crisp, clean finish, gently drying with lingering citrus zest and soft grassiness.
