Daftmill 2007

Smell: It has a vivid smell of fresh milk, milk skin, hot milk, roasted wheat bran, orange peel, small white flowers, and herbs. Wake up, more floral fragrances, essential oils, and lavender appear. 90/100 Taste: Essential oils, citrus cologne, milk flavor is not much, violet, white flower fragrance, orange juice, aromatic herbs, oak fragrance, honey sweetness, mineral salt 90/100 Body: soft body, light oily finish: long, oak, herbal, rock sugar, citrus Overall: 90/100, I personally think it is a high-quality bourbon single wheat. The milk taste of some bourbon single wheat is like whipped vegetable cream, but daftmill2007 is a cup of steaming fresh milk. The last one made me Such an impressive bourbon barrel single wheat is SMWS37.112. It is similar to the daftmill I have drunk before, with very delicate flowers and essential oils. The overall lightness and comfort, neither overly weak body nor overly weak flavor, surprise

New Distilleries Tasting @ Reifferscheid July 2021 - such a crazy tropical and yellow fruits nose. It is not classical speyside refill hoggie, a bit more modern but totally lucious - if you could only bottle the smell. It reminds me in parts of Bimber's fruitiness of recharred and bourbon casks. Due to its slender 46% body, chewing the whisky to the last drop is highly important to not miss its subtle nuances. The nose wonderfully repeats itself on the tongue. The only complaint here is the alc.strength that leaves the finish a bit dismembered. I would really prefer to have 50% here and it is actually he power that made its partner of the tasting pair - a cask sample of Lindores Abbey 1st fill bourbon cask 229 about 231 months old - come out on top in the finish. Eventhough the Lindores was much cruder of course, well, at 31 months and about 62%. Hard to say which bottle I'd go for if I'd have the choice and this is a compliment to both bottlings actually.
