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. The farm also produces carrots and broccoli. In June 2003 they applied for planning permission to convert the old mill buildings into a distillery.

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.
• Aromas of lemon zest, light floral notes, ripe banana, cereal malts, vanilla, green orchard fruits, and toasted almonds. The palate is rich and full-bodied with a thick, coating mouthfeel, hints of pepper, banana candy, marzipan, traditional Scottish tablet, and fresh grass. A finish lingering on gentle sweet, floral, and herbal impressions.
