Francis seems like the rainman of whisky. The numbers and measurements that he casually drops just make me think that he is making something very special. Would love to try one day when I’m up in Scotland.
I want that batch which has Charles Maclean´s flavour-fingerprint (in the actual sense of the word) in it! I´m up to bidding super-high if he signs it!
+DJ Scottdog just contacted Francis Cuthbert at Daftmill. Here is his response.... “Some one is on the ball. We have just installed a whole malt bin, mill and grist bin in the old kiln where we used to tip the wheelie bins of malt. In fact the guys just finished the install this morning. The electrician still has a bit to do then we can get it commissioned so we have not used it yet but hope to get it fired up in the next few weeks. Cheers Francis”
@@SingleMaltTv i was there in april, i love the place. Tempted to ask if i can give him a hand with it since i make my own beer and want to get into the industry
Agree this is a bit stilted ... Francis isn't exactly too comfortable in front of the camera and not easy with the conversation - not his fault, you can't blame a person for their style of personality but he warms up as things go along.
Francis was not at all comfortable in front of the camera. Actually he and I were joking about that this morning when I asked about DJ Scottdog question. BUT he really wanted to do it....wonderful bloke, just very quiet and likes making whisky more than talking about it.
The presenter sounds ridiculous trying to cover up his blatantly Scottish accent with a not-very-accurate, personal take on what he thinks Received Pronunciation should sound like. All together it has the exact opposite effect than what he desires as he ultimately sounds even more Scottish. Just be yourself.
It's great not only getting to see where everything is made but also how someone is actually working with the equipment.

Great video!
Thank you for the comment, appreciated.

I hear he used the profits from the 2005 bottling to replace the bin hopper with a mill plant
+DJ Scottdog I will check with Francis and report back.

@@djscottdog1 give him a holler, no harm in asking.
@@djscottdog1 it really is a spectacular spot.
Oh no, at 11.35 he double dipped.

The narrator, Mr. Maclean, is a bit intense and forward. That certainly comes across and could indeed make one a little off put.

Crazy, this is a joke, right?

Or this could just be how he sounds.
Ironically you sound like an absolute dickhead even in text!
I should add, Charles father was an Etonian, so I have to assume his son's RP is fairly accurate.
@john lester Google it
@john lester neither. I'm a scientist with a masters degree thank you.
@john lester hold on. You think my original comment is directed at you?
