Daftmill is one of the most interesting of the new wave of 21st century independent Scottish distilleries, being one of the first of those to actually start distillation but then subsequently famously reticent and reluctant to discuss when their spirit would actually be released.  

Daftmill’s owner and (sole) distiller Francis Cuthbert remained tight-lipped about the progress of distillation and maturation at the distillery for well over a decade and is likely still bemused at the fascination that accompanied any mention of his whisky during the many years in which not a shred of reliable news was ever officially released.
