Tasting Notes
Colour: Deep gold. This is an inference based on the bottle presentation and first-fill PX hogshead maturation.
Nose: Elegant with fragrant wood smoke and woody spices, liquorice root, cinnamon, clove, hints of fennel, caramelised orchard fruits and some wild strawberries. This is taken directly from the official published note for the release.
Palate: Deliciously mouth-coating, with oily malt leading to rum and raisin ice cream and a hefty hit of spice. This is taken directly from the official published description for the release.
Finish: Smouldering embers and earthy ash, lifted by a touch of strawberry laces and rhubarb-and-custard sweets. This is taken directly from the official published finish note for the release.
Description
Millstone 4 Year Old – Batch 8 That Boutique-y Whisky Company 50cl, 54.1% is a limited Dutch single malt whisky bottled by That Boutique-y Whisky Company in 2023. Official release notes describe it as a 4 year old heavily peated malt at 55ppm, matured in a first-fill PX hogshead and bottled at 54.1% ABV in 50cl format, with Millstone forming part of the Zuidam Distillers range in the Netherlands.
What makes this bottle especially attractive is the way the cask softens and layers the peat. The official notes say the distillery’s long fermentations and narrow cut help subdue the expected smoke, creating a more elegant style built around fragrant wood smoke, woody spice, liquorice root, clove, caramelised orchard fruit and a richer, oily palate.
Why Choose Millstone 4 Year Old – Batch 8 That Boutique-y Whisky Company 50cl, 54.1%
Millstone 4 Year Old – Batch 8 That Boutique-y Whisky Company 50cl, 54.1% stands out because it offers a more unusual smoky profile than many young peated whiskies. The combination of Dutch distilling, 55ppm peated malt, first-fill PX hogshead maturation and a tiny 153-bottle outturn gives it real individuality, while the official tasting profile keeps it elegant rather than aggressively smoky.
Ideal For.
This bottle is ideal for collectors of That Boutique-y Whisky Company releases who look for low-outturn batches with strong cask identity and a clear age statement.
It is ideal for drinkers who enjoy peated whisky with fragrant wood smoke, liquorice, clove, caramelised fruit and a richer PX-cask influence rather than a purely coastal or medicinal style.
It is also ideal for buyers who want to explore Dutch single malt in a more characterful, limited and conversation-worthy format. This is an inference based on the confirmed Dutch origin, the peated style and the 153-bottle release.

Collector’s Note
This bottle has strong collector appeal because the release scale is genuinely small. At 153 bottles, it sits well outside standard commercial-bottling territory, and that matters even more when combined with a clearly defined cask type, a 4 year age statement and the increasingly followed Boutique-y batch style.
It is especially attractive because it shows a different side of peated whisky. Instead of relying on brute smoke alone, it pairs heavy peating with first-fill PX richness and the distillery’s more careful fermentation and cut style, giving the bottle both collector value and strong drinking interest. This is based on the official release description and tasting notes.
