TBWC Millstone 3YO 500mL

The nose is lively, spicy, and slightly sweet. It opens with classic rye notes of cracked black pepper, cinnamon stick, and dark rye bread, followed by layers of caramel toffee, orange peel, and clove-studded apple. There’s also a rich herbal undertone—dill, eucalyptus, and fennel—with a whisper of vanilla and toasted oak. On the palate, it’s bold and textured, with a chewy mouthfeel and plenty of spice. Expect bursts of ginger snap, licorice root, and nutmeg, along with burnt sugar, toffee apple, and charred oak. The grain presence is assertive and clean, with the youthful spirit carrying plenty of strength without being raw. A tangy lift of citrus rind and herbal bitters adds a zesty dimension. The finish is medium to long, warming and dry, with lingering notes of baking spice, black tea, and rye grain, fading gently into a touch of dark chocolate and mint leaf.
