Berry Bros & Rudd Daftmill 2010 Summer Release 70cl 46°
Daftmill is a Scottish distillery operated by the Cuthbert family. It is a small agricultural distillery that produces whisky only during the quieter periods of the farm, namely in the middle of summer and winter. The rest of the year, Francis Cuthbert takes care of the estate, and grows the barley that will be used for his production.
This summer 2010 edition marks the last time the Optic barley variety will be used. The distillate is then matured in 25 first-fill Bourbon casks at the Clermont Springs Distillery in Kentucky, before being bottled in 2021.
A small production of 6250 bottles which develops a summery profile, very cereal with notes of citrus fruits and flower nectar.

Berry Bros & Rudd is the oldest wine and spirits merchant still in activity: it was in 1698 that a widow named Bourne opened a delicatessen at number 3 of James's Street, in the heart of one of the most exclusive districts. from London. It very quickly seduced the aristocracy and in particular the British Crown, of which it would become the official supplier.
Under the leadership of George Berry, who took over the grocery store in 1810, the wine and spirits trade developed and became its main branch. A new partner, Hugh R. Rudd, entered in 1920 and joined the Berry family to launch the Cutty Stark in 1923, the very first blend to be completely unstained.This is the first major success for the brand with both names.
Today, Berry Bros & Rudd spreads its products all over the world and is considered one of the most famous bottlers, in particular thanks to the know-how of Doug Mclvor, the real "nose" of the brand, who selects the homemade whiskies.
