When we received this sample of rye whisky from Millstone, we knew we wanted it immediately. When we knew we had a collection of whiskies from the US to release, we wondered how we were going to sneak this into this release! Fortunately the baseball card series gave us the perfect excuse!!

Once again we’ve bottled this at natural cask strength and and have filled just 319 bottles.

It was European settlers that introduced rye whisky to a young America in the 17th century, so the perfect excuse to bring this into our US Series.

This is one of Patrick’s classic Dutch rye whiskies, made from a 50/50 mix of malted and unmalted rye, an 8-9 day fermentation, a low and slow distillation, and a very narrow cut point between 68-70%. It’s then been matured in a new toasted and #3 charred American oak barrel, with charred heads, for nine years.


NOSE

Deliciously fragrant. Demerara sugar, ginger sponge cake, hints of citrus blossom, Spices with cardamom and that signature wild fennel note.

TASTE

Soft citrus with pine needles, malt loaf. There's a candle waxiness to this too, and then some woody, earthy spices. Cardamom leads the fairly short spicy finish. Spectacular!


ABOUT THE LABEL

Standing in ‘Designated Hitter’ on our defiled label is distiller Patrick van Zuidam. Patrick is holding a dutch ‘kolven’ stick (a game played in the Netherlands, that was probably a precursor to the game of golf). The card has been torn in half by the card verifier as a ‘fake’ for this US Series collection…I know, but we thought it was punny
