Millstone 10 years Rye Whisky Founders Reserve

Millstone 10 years Rye Whisky Founder’s Reserve is a standout expression from Zuidam Distillers, crafted from 100% rye and aged for a full decade in a combination of new American oak and ex-bourbon casks. This is rye whisky at its finest: spicy, complex, and wonderfully balanced. A tribute to craftsmanship and vision, and a benchmark for Dutch whisky.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Bold and expressive with notes of clove, cinnamon, toasted grain, vanilla, toffee and a hint of orange zest.

Palate

Powerful yet refined. Classic rye spice leads the way, followed by honey, black pepper, caramel, ginger and a touch of cedarwood. Perfectly integrated.

Finish

Long and warming, with lingering spice, a touch of dark chocolate and a soft, dry oaky fade.

Zuidam Distillery

Located in Baarle-Nassau, the Netherlands, Zuidam Distillery is a family-owned business with a rich history dating back to 1975. Founded by Fred van Zuidam, the distillery has developed into one of the most respected producers of high-quality spirits in the Netherlands. The company is now run by the second generation, Patrick van Zuidam, who continues the tradition of craftsmanship and quality.

A unique feature of Zuidam Distillery is the use of traditional production methods combined with modern innovations. The distillery uses windmills to grind grain, adding to the authenticity and craftsmanship of their production process. Zuidam produces a wide range of drinks, including whisky, Dutch genever, gin, rum and liqueurs.

Zuidam whiskies are known for their complex and sophisticated flavour profiles, with influences from different types of casks such as ex-bourbon, sherry and port. The whiskies are entirely distilled, matured and bottled in-house, ensuring complete control over quality. The combination of a beautiful location, rich history and commitment to quality makes Zuidam Distillery a leading name in the world of craft spirits.

Millstone

Millstone is the whisky brand of Zuidam Distillers, the independent family business based in Baarle-Nassau in the Netherlands. Patrick van Zuidam wanted to use the knowledge of his parents, Fred and Hélène, to create a Dutch whisky with a character of its own. The first experimental casks were filled in 1996. After years of development, Millstone was launched and became one of the pioneers of Dutch whisky. Its name refers to the millstones traditionally used by windmills to grind grain.

Millstone is produced from grain to bottle within the family distillery. Zuidam grows much of the barley and rye itself. A seven-day fermentation and slow distillation in copper pot stills create a fruity and complex spirit. Maturation takes place in a broad range of casks, including new American oak and former bourbon, Oloroso, Pedro Ximénez, port and wine casks.

The range includes unpeated and peated single malt whisky, powerful rye whisky and limited single cask releases. Millstone’s rye expressions in particular have gained considerable international recognition. The brand brings together Dutch grain tradition, family expertise and distinctive cask choices in a recognisable whisky identity.
