We are big fans of this family distillery in the Netherlands, so delighted to introduce this single malt from them.
This is a heavily peated (55pm) single malt matured in a PX hogshead. Long ferments, and a very narrow spirit cut define a very different experience than you’d expect.
Is there anything this distillery can’t make? We are huge fans and have bottled their rye, malt and rums to date.
Located in the sleepy Baarle Nassau, you’ll see curious dotted lined on the pavements around town. Nothing to do with staying away from the sweets... a lot of the town is actually Belgian!
NOSE
Elegant with fragrant wood smoke and woody spices;, liquorice root, cinnamon and clove with hints of fenne tool. Caramelised orchard fruits, and some wild strawberry.
TASTE
Deliciously mouth-coating. Oily malt leads rum and raisin ice cream and there's a hefty hit of spice. Smouldering embers and earthy ash are lifted by a touch strawberry laces, and rhubarb and custard sweets.
ABOUT THE LABEL
Why do we represent Patrick van Zuidam as the Dutch Willy Wonka you may ask?
One visit to his warehouse to see the cornucopia of delicious liquids within will satisfy your curiosity. Millstone officially launched in 2007 as a brand but, preceding that enjoyed 13 years of barley-based experimentation!'
