Almost everything to do with the Millstone 100 Rye Whisky, from Dutch experts Zuidam, is to do with the number 100. It's made with 100% rye grain, 100% small pot still distillation, matured for 100 months in 100% new American oak barrels and bottled at 100° Proof (50% ABV, but we'll let it slide this time). It's a bit like that movie, The Number 23, except about the number 100 and tasty rye whisky, not Jim Carrey.
Deliciously fragrant with orange blossom, roasted lemon and a touch of thyme. Hints of brown sugar sweetness.
More lemon notes develop on the palate, now paired with pine. Cardamom spiciness. Maybe even a touch of Fino?
Waxy fruit and another kick of cardamom.

Up there with some of best Ryes.
Bought this after enjoying my first taste of Rye with the Bullet. This is an amazing Rye round whisky which will be one I'll be nursing for a long time. Full of all you expect from a Rye whisky plus so much more. Deep and complex, thoroughly enjoying it.
First sip, orgasmic mouth feel. Syrup, dark honey, molasses Sour on the finish but a gentle sweetness wraps around it and pulls in spice, tanned leather. A work of art.
The smoothest best tasting whiskey ever tried.
So underrated. Better than most of the american/canadian ryes.
