The Zuidam Millstone Single Malt Whisky Heavy Peated American Cask - Cask Strength is a unique and exceptional whisky that stands in its own class, despite its similarities with Scottish classics. This whisky hails from the Netherlands and is crafted by the esteemed Zuidam Distillery using heavily peated malted barley, a characteristic typically found in certain regions of Scotland such as Islay. However, experiments in the spirits world can lead to great results. After seven years of aging in American white oak casks, this whisky is bottled at cask strength, making it a high-quality, high-proof whisky that should not be underestimated. With only 1008 bottles produced, this special edition from 2010, bottled in 2017, is a collector’s gem.
The deep gold Zuidam Millstone Single Malt Whisky Heavy Peated American Cask - Cask Strength offers an array of aromas including tropical fruits like mango and pineapple, complemented by vanilla, honey, and toffee adding a touch of sweetness. Notes of tea, apple, and biscuit are also present, with a hint of peat that introduces a smoky flavor. The full-bodied whisky complements the peat with marmalade, coriander, and exotic fruits. As a Dutch whisky with a high alcohol content, it also delights with dried apricots, apple compote, malt, and waffles. A medium-length finish and a silky mouthfeel characterize this spectacular hidden gem. It is recommended to enjoy it with a few drops of water.

This full-bodied whisky offers a rich and complex profile. The initial tropical fruitiness and sweetness give way to a smoky, peaty character, balanced by notes of marmalade, spices, and dried fruits. The medium-length finish is marked by waves of peat smoke, juicy fruits, and a subtle mineral touch. A few drops of water enhance its intricate flavors, making it a delightful and unique whisky experience.
I'm impressed by this Millstone! It's definitely not heavily peated compared to an average Islay of the same age, but it reminds me of much older mildly peated malts. The nose is a delightful mix of green fruits and mild peat, while the taste develops beautifully with a pinch of salt, dark chocolate, and gentle spices. The finish offers waves of medium peat smoke and juicy fruits, rounding off with a slight plastic off-note. To my tastebuds, it was the best I had in a line-up of 8 Millstones. Truly a remarkable find.
