700 mlProducer Tasting Note (Sort of)
"This whisky has an underlying fruity character derived from the carefully crafted crystal-clear wort, long cool fermentation using both brewers and distilling yeast, and a slow gentle distillation before maturing in the highest quality Pedro Ximenez cask we can source."
The Zuidam Distillery was founded in 1975 in Baarle Nassau, which lies in the southern Netherlands near the border it shares with Belgium The Founder, Fred van Zuidam, had accumulated two decades of previous experience in spirits production before deciding to make a go of it on his own. Under his care, the distillery started by making a line of premium liqueurs using natural ingredients, from grain to fruit to herbs and spices used. This methodology continues to this day, as Zuidam spirits are made with no artificial colouring or flavouring. This goes for all of their products, be it their Cassis Liqueur (which is delicious by the way), Apple Flavoured Gin, Dutch Courage Old Tom Gin, Premium Genever, or Single Malt Whiskies.
Zuidam’s first experiments in whisky-making started in 1994, and regular whisky production commenced four years later in 1998. Even then, the Zuidam family showed patience, not releasing their first single malt whisky commercially until 2007. The first bottling was a 5 year old. It was also the first release to use the Millstone name, which was a reference to the use of Dutch Windmills to stone-mill the malted barley. Nowadays, the use of windmills is no longer enough to supply all of the grist needed.
Fred’s son Patrick van Zuidam is now in charge of whisky and spirit production at the family distillery, and under his influence, the distillery’s line of whisky has stretched into a variety of different styles and grains, including Rye and three and five-grain blends. Further experiments in growing their own barley are ongoing with the stated goal to be self-sustainable when it comes to grain soon.

This whisky was featured on Day 8 of our 2025 KWM Still Not An Advent Calendar Tasting Series! You can read more about the whisky here.
Our 3rd KWM exclusive cask of Millstone is a single malt distilled in 2016, and matured in an Oloroso sherry hogshead. The whisky has been bottled after 7 years at 52.3%. We're big fans of Millstone and its impresario Patrick Van Zuidam. We've been looking for an opportunity to select and bottle a cask of sherry-matured Millstone single malt, and are thrilled that this one is finally here!
The artwork on the label is from a painting of the store Andrew's wife Jen had made for him several years ago... it is our old entrance, pre-"the infamous Dodge Ram incident!"

Producer Description (translated from Czech)
"The history of GOLDCOCK whiskey began in the 1970s. Since then, a lot has changed, but it will never change what our whiskey does as it is – spring double barley from Moravia, malt from the Malt House in Bruntál with classic throb sprouts and heavily burned barrels from the European winter oak from Moravian cos. We fill into bottles until we taste it tastes, not sooner, not later. Now, alongside the classic single malt whisky, there is a waiting opportunity in whisky barrels smoky with three times the amount of peat, grain grain whiskey, or rye whiskies, which we believe will be a great continuation of the story.
In 2020, we expanded the basic GOLDCOCK line and came to market with the first GOLDCOCK gin that doesn’t play anything. Juggler has been distilled in our factory for more than a hundred and twenty years, and because we honor traditions very honestly, we have used the same composition of herbs as several decades ago."
