Berry Bros opens ballot for first Daftmill whisky
Berry Bros & Rudd has opened a ballot for the first 250 bottles of Fife distillery Daftmill’s inaugural Scotch whisky release.
The first wave of 250 bottles will be available via ballot through Berry Bros & Rudd
Consumers keen to be among the first to get their hands on the Daftmill 2005 must register their interest on the Berry Bros & Rudd website (bbr.com) by 5pm on 10 May.
A further 250 bottles of Daftmill 2005 will be released via specialist retailers in early June.
The whisky, which will be priced at £210 per 700ml bottle, has been produced from 100% Chariot barley grown on the Daftmill farm, owned by the Cuthbert family, and was cut on 31 August 2004.
The single malt is a marriage of three different casks and is bottled at cask strength (55.8% abv).
Furthermore, the Fife distillery will also release its Daftmill Summer Release on 22 June at an RRP of £95.
Francis Cuthbert, co-founder of Daftmill Distiller, said: “We operate around the farming year and our unhurried methods of distillation have meant we can only produce around 100 casks of whisky a year.
“The launch of the inaugural release will also be the first chance customers have to see the new label and packaging – we hope the clean, simple and honest design reflects our approach to production.”
Berry Bros & Rudd signed a global distribution deal with Daftmill towards the end of 2017.
