Millstone 5 Year Single Malt

Nose: Aromatic with hints of pine needles, malt, and a nostalgic touch of Milky Bar sweetness. Diverse layers include attic newspapers, ripe banana, and a creamy vanilla presence. Bourbon-like characteristics and a pale spirity note pokes through. Taste: An unexpected twist of mint and spice captivates the taste buds, akin to the distinctive spiciness found in rye whiskey. Sourdough adds a unique touch, while the sweetness unfolds with notes of brown sugar, and a hint of cherry. The maltiness dries out, leaving a tannic essence reminiscent of red wine. Finish: The oak lingers, accompanied by a gentle touch of tannins and a subtle matchstick quality. The finish maintains the spicy and tannic elements, contributing to the overall character. Overall: Zuidam Millstone 5 Year Single Malt presents a familiar profile that closely aligns with bourbon characteristics, notably in its aromatic nose. The palate's spicy sourness, reminiscent of rye, adds a light layer of complexity. It may appeal to those fond of bourbon with a touch of distinctive flair. While the finish boasts lingering oak and tannins, the overall experience is a relatively unremarkable one - It's as straightforward as a one-liner from a knock-knock joke — just a simple sip that doesn't leave you pondering life's mysteries.

A must have as a dutchylike myself. Sweet but with incredible depth, its dark, with clear woodlike caramel taste. The taste is very powerfull, very little burn on the tongue and throught. Definetly something id reconmend!

Sweet vanilla in smell and a bit in the smooth taste. Easy to swallow fast but better to let stay in the mouth for a short second first

As I’m Dutch I wanted to try this one. Smell has some vanilla, tastes rather soft with sweet caramel.

Airport hotel bar -- not bad, smells like a bourbon, sweet

Sweet liquorish deep dark taste. Pretty smooth.
