Millstone 2009 Barrel Proof Rye Whisky
Lot number: 172-03505
Winning bid: £45
In 1976, Master Distiller Fred van Zuidam and Designer Hélène van Zuidam started making liqueurs and genevers under the name Zuidam Distillers. The sons of Fred and Hélène, Patrick and Gilbert then took over the helm. Distilled in the Netherlands the big dream of whiskey lover Patrick van Zuidam was always to make his own whisky and the Zuidam family has worked long and hard to realize this dream.
In 1996, the first experimental barrels of whisky were filled. Since then, various improvements have been made until perfection was achieved, and Zuidam Distillers was able to launch its first Dutch whisky, Millstone.
The name Millstone refers to the Dutch windmills used to grind the grain for its whisky to help preserve Dutch heritage and as a result, the slower grinding allows the flavour of the grain to be preserved.
