ABOUT THIS BOTTLING
This Millstone is a true birthday treat from The Netherlands. A 25 Year Old single malt, distilled in 1996, the very start of their whisky making history.
This 25 Year Old has spent its life quietly maturing in an Oloroso Hogshead, and we’ve bottled it at natural cask strength.
A 25 Year Old whisky is a rarity in itself, but a 25 year old malt from the beginning of a distillery’s whisky making history is surely a drop of liquid history.
Patrick van Zuidam grew up in the distillery, between the stills, and did his first distillations at 12 years of age
NOSE
Big, bold, and powerful. Blackcurrants, Black cherry, leather, figs, stewed fruits, and all manner of sherried fruits. There’s a vintage port note to this too.
Stunning!
TASTE
This is an exceptionally complex whisky! All of the sherried fruits, with bitter dark chocolate. coffee grounds, a rich dark cherry liqueur.
Spectacular!
ABOUT THE LABEL
The inspiration from this label comes from a scene straight out of Willy Wonka and the chocolate factory.
Willy Wonka has been replaced by th wonderful Patrick van Zuidam.
The landscape includes all the big landmarks from the film but the river and waterfall is whisky instead of chocolate.
The candy plants have been replaced with whisky-related items too!
