This is one of three debut releases from Minden Mill, a newcomer whiskey brand based near Lake Tahoe in Minden, Nevada. Minden Mill is owned by Foley Family Wine & Spirits. This single malt is approachably priced at $59.99. Minden Mill is a true do-it-all operation. All of the grains used in its whiskeys are grown on-site, and it even does a portion of its own malting. This single malt is aged for five years in oloroso sherry, ex-bourbon, and American oak casks before being bottled at 94 proof.

Intriguing, rich nose that nicely balances a spicy profile with dark fruit notes. Blackberry and cranberry meet a heap of clove, pepper, tobacco, oak and vanilla pudding.
Pleasantly oaky with more clove, pepper, tobacco and leather.
Finishes with spice: Clove and peppercorns galore, plus more tobacco.
Very impressed by my first encounter with Minden Mill. This is a terrific, spice-laden single malt. It's well-proofed, delicious and very easy to sip, not to mention a solid value buy at $59.99.
