Distillation and production

Production method

In-house production and processing of spirits and extracts in small batches; for some gins each botanical is distilled separately (multiple distillation passes to build complexity). The range includes both non-aged products and expressions matured in casks.

Distillation

Artisanal small‑batch processing; for Dutch Courage Dry Gin each botanical is distilled separately, with a series of multiple distillations (the product page cites a total of 14 distillations for that recipe). For whisky and genever traditional processes are used, with long fermentations and slow/soft distillations where specified.

Ageing

Some products (e.g. aged gins and Millstone whisky) are finished in casks; example: the 'Aged Dry Gin' matured in 200‑litre American oak barrels. For whisky various types of sherry casks (Oloroso, Pedro Ximénez) and American oak barrels are used, with first-fill/virgin oak in some expressions.

Producer history Zuidam Distillers

Zuidam is a family-run company that internally manages the production of spirits and extracts; the official site references family members (Hélène, Fred, Patrick & Gilbert van Zuidam) and a 'farm to glass' approach that characterises its integrated artisanal production. The site lists active operations and main brands (including Millstone for whisky and Dutch Courage for gin), but does not explicitly state a founding year.

Production philosophy

Artisanal 'farm to glass' production based on natural raw materials, without the use of artificial flavors, colorants or flavoring agents; strong focus on internal control of the entire production chain and on the quality of labels and packaging.

Territory

Baarle-Nassau (North Brabant), Netherlands. Products are also sold on international markets via distributors and retailers.

Awards and recognitions

Dutch Courage Dry Gin: gold medal at the International Spirits Challenge 2012; the same expression lists past awards on the site such as Master/Best in Class (Drinks Business), 'Best White Spirit of the Year' (Paul Pacult's Spirits Journal), and gold medals at international competitions (e.g. BTI Chicago, Los Angeles International Wine and Spirits Competition).
