Millstone Special 31 Peated Palo Cortado Dutch Whisky

This peated malt whisky has a beautiful color of old gold,and a rich and luscious flavour profile that far exceeds its relative youthfulness. The whisky expresses those typical notes that you would expect from a relatively youthful peated whisky with a full maturation in very rare old Palo cortade casks. The first impression is rich. When you give the whisky a little time in your glass and the whisky shines with its warm and complex character. The unique qualities of this whisky come from the use of a crystal-clear wort that is slowly fermented for 7 days and the slow distillation method with the relatively early cut point. After distillation the whisky had a full maturation in vere rare old palo cortado casks that give the whisky its beautiful color and adds to the rich complex flavour.

Dark Gold 

Menthol Freshness and smokey with rich and warm undertones. There is an underlying menthol quality to the whisky normally associated with much older whiskies. Together with this menthol quality a balanced campfire smokiness of this peated whisky stands out. This develops into a rich and complex whisky that has a definite lemon and citruscharacter to balance those campfire smokey notes. 

Wonderfully balanced. Warm notes of apple and oranges and various other citrus aroma’s balanced with the deep and interesting smokey notes of the peat. Finish: Long and slightly drying with great complexity
