Named after the Daft stream which, thanks to the local topography, appears to run uphill, Daftmill is one of only nine active Lowland distilleries.

Daftmill is owned by Brothers Francis and Ian Cuthbert who in 2002 were granted permission to convert the old mill on their family’s Daftmill Farm into a distillery. The barley used at the distillery is grown on the farm and the water comes from the farm’s own artesian well. The first spirit was produced in December 2005 and the first cask, a bourbon barrel from Kentucky’s Heavenhill Distillery, was ceremoniously filled by Francis and Ian’s mother.
