Product details
Minden Mill Distilling, nestled in the historic town of Minden, Nevada, is a distinguished estate distillery renowned for its meticulous grain-to-glass approach. Occupying a restored flour mill, the distillery oversees every production phase on its expansive 1,200-acre estate, from cultivating 100% estate-grown barley to on-site malting and distillation. This comprehensive process ensures that each bottle authentically reflects the unique terroir of Nevada's high desert region. Employing state-of-the-art equipment, including premier Forsyth stills from Scotland, Minden Mill harmoniously blends traditional craftsmanship with modern innovation to create exceptional spirits.
The Minden Mill 5-Year American Single Malt Whiskey exemplifies the distillery's dedication to quality and innovation. Crafted from 100% malted barley, this expression is aged for five years in a combination of Oloroso sherry, ex-bourbon, and American oak casks, resulting in a deep, fruity, and elegant spirit. On the nose, it offers enticing aromas of butterscotch, dried mixed fruit, fresh straw, light apricot, burnt sugar, brown butter, and white peppercorn. The palate reveals flavors of leather, dry red wine, and light malted barley, leading to a finish characterized by subtle rye spice, dry baking spices, subtle red fruits, malt, and a short length. This whiskey pairs wonderfully with roasted game meats, aged cheeses, or dark chocolate desserts, enhancing its rich and complex flavor profile.
