A Throwback to the Early Days of Scotch Whisky

Scotch whisky history was built on the backs of farmers who
worked their fields three seasons of the year and spent the
winters turning their grain into whisky. While distilling is a
full-time job today for most distillers, Francis Cuthbert does
things the old way at Daftmill Distillery in Fife. He and his
brother Ian opened the distillery at the family's Daftmill Farm
in December of 2005, but Francis is a full-time farmer and only
makes whisky when time allows. They waited 12 years before giving
the world a taste of the single malt whisky distilled from their
own farm's barley, and have received rave reviews so far. Now,
Daftmill's single malt is coming to the U.S., and we'll talk with
Francis Cuthbert on this week's WhiskyCast In-Depth. We'll also
have details on a lawsuit over the word "Magnus," the week's
tasting notes, and on Behind the Label, the back story behind an
antique still at George Washington's Distillery that dates back
to Washington's time!
