Description
MILLSTONE Dutch Single Malt Whisky is made in the traditional distillery that is owned and operated by the van Zuidam Family. More than 50 years of experience in distilling of exclusive spirits and a constant search for perfection has led to the births of this exquisite Millstone Whisky line. WINDMILLS mill the malted barley that is used to produce this Malt Whisky. This traditional way of milling ensures that we do not increase the temperature of the grain and therefore preserve the wonderful aroma's. MASHING the grain is done by adding hot water to the malted barley. The hot water extracts the sugars and convert the starch from the grain into sugars. The resulting mash is cooled to 18 degrees and pumped to the fermentation tank. THE FERMENTATION takes place at a relatively very low temperature to give the whisky its fruity flavors. The fermentation takes about 5 days. DISTILLATION. Millstone Whisky is double distilled in handcrafted copper pot stills. The stills were designed to produce a very delicate and fruity new spirit. AGING After the careful distillation the whisky is aged in small barrels. We use new barrels of American white oak previously held Bourbon, Oloroso Sherry and Pedro Ximenez.
