Zuidam Distillers is a family-owned Dutch distillery founded in 1975 by Fred van Zuidam and his wife Hélène in Noord-Brabant, the Netherlands. What began as a small operation with a single pot still and roughly 300 square metres of working space, initially focused on vodka, fruit liqueurs, and traditional Dutch genevers. Over the decades, the distillery has grown into one of Europe's most respected craft producers, with Fred's son Patrick van Zuidam stepping up as master distiller approximately twenty years after the distillery's founding, continuing the family legacy with ambition and precision. Zuidam is the owner of the Millstone brand, under which all of its whiskies are released. The portfolio has expanded significantly from its genever roots and now includes single malt and rye whiskies that have earned serious international attention. Millstone whiskies are crafted with meticulous care, drawing on the distillery's deep heritage in traditional grain distillation. The range showcases a variety of styles and cask maturations, reflecting the family's commitment to quality over volume. Zuidam has been steadily building an increasingly impressive reputation in the world of whisky. The Millstone range is widely regarded as a benchmark for Dutch whisky, earning praise from connoisseurs and critics alike. The distillery's patient, craft-driven approach has positioned Zuidam as a true Dutch master in the global whisky landscape.
