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.
