Tasting Notes
Prepare to embark on a captivating journey through the realms of flavor with Millstone 4 Year Old - Batch 8 from That Boutique-y Whisky Company. This Dutch single malt whisky, peated to a tantalizing 55ppm, unveils a harmonious symphony of aromas and tastes. The inviting nosing notes beckon with the allure of fresh crusty bread, treacly syrup, and stewed, spiced fruits, accompanied by rich oak char, liquorice, hints of red berries, and an earthy peat undertone. Upon savoring, a lick of toffee joins the party, mingling with candied ginger warmth, toasted woody spice, and silky caramel. Cooked apples, clove, and anise add their delightful accents, while smoked meat nestles beneath. The lingering finish captivates with berry sweetness, grilled stone fruits, fennel, vanilla ice cream, and a tickle of pepper, all complemented by oily malt, burnt butter, wafts of smouldering embers, and sherried oak. This four-year-old whisky, aged in a Pedro Ximénez sherry hogshead, is a true masterpiece, expertly crafted to offer a remarkable dram that harmoniously blends layers of oily malt, hearty spice, and elegant whispers of smoke.
