Millstone 10 y.o. Oloroso Casks – Special #33

Not every single malt so genuinely bears the signature of its makers as this Millstone from the Netherlands. It is the symbiosis of patient maturation and an almost forgotten artisanal tradition that makes this drop a special rarity for discerning connoisseurs.

Dutch Windmills and Traditional Copper Stills

At Zuidam, the heritage of distillation art has been cultivated for over 50 years, with the barley characteristically ground in real windmills. This gentle method preserves the fine aromas of the grain before the distillate is double-distilled in small copper stills. The ten-year maturation period in carefully selected Oloroso sherry casks gives the whisky its deep amber color and impressive structural density.

A Bouquet of Dark Fruits and Noble Woods

The glass reveals a luxurious interplay of sherry notes and dark chocolate, underscored by ripe cherries and a hint of sandalwood. On the palate, a silky texture unfolds, characterized by exotic woods, spicy nutmeg, and sweet raisins. The finish remains present for a long time, bidding farewell with nuances of stewed fruits and a fine, dry oak spice.

A Character Piece for the Conscious Moment

With its 46% ABV and no chill-filtration, this limited single malt is aimed at enthusiasts who appreciate authenticity and strength. It best unfolds its full complexity neat at room temperature in a nosing glass. This bottling is recommended for those who seek a sherry-forward profile off the beaten path, perfectly combining craftsmanship and time.
