Daftmill is a true farm distillery with a unique production schedule. All the barley
used for production is farmed by Francis Cuthbert on the estate. The whisky is all
distilled by Francis in the farm off-season; two months in summer and two month
in winter – this is a very traditional way of running a distillery that hasn’t been seen
in Scotland since the 1800s. Daftmill is also one of Scotland’s smallest distilleries
by output, distilling only 20,000 LPA or about 100 casks per year.
