Millstone 10 YO American Oak

Produced by Zuidam Distillery in the Netherlands. The Millstone 10 YO American Oak is just what it says in the title; a ten year old single malt whisky matured in American Oak.

You can buy this online at around GBP 72.

Nose: Lighter. Cool vanilla ice-cream with fudge and coconut flakes. Hints of fudge and cookie dough.

Taste: Medium body. On the dry side. Quite spicy upfront. Black pepper, ancho chili, nutmeg and cinnamon.

Finish: Medium long finish. Mainly dry oakiness, bitter-ish herbal notes and rosewater. Then, weirdly enough I detect chocolate milk. Cloves and caramel towards the end.

Comments: Another one that is a bit hard to pin down. The nose is appealing, the taste is a bit - hmm unfocused.
