Aberlour 12, 2006-2018, Barrel 102, 56.8% – Archives

Posted on 9 March 2023 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

An older review today. Lately I’ve been emptying some bottles and a LOT of samples, ever since the beginning of the year. A couple dozen that I’ve gone through since were not reviewed here yet, and I even found some … Continue reading →

Aberlour 10, 2010-2021, Marsala Finish, 46% – Hart Brothers

Posted on 22 March 2022 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

As stated last week, Aberlour isn’t exactly on my radar. Mostly because, apart from the rocket fuel that is A’Bunadh, I don’t really care for most of the official releases. A bit too smooth, a bit too sweet, a bit … Continue reading →

Posted on 18 March 2022 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

This bottle is a bottling for the Polish market, selected by La Maison du Whisky, and bought by Jack Tar Holding. Obviously, I didn’t put that in the title, because it would be a three line heading. Anyway, this sample … Continue reading →

Blended Malt Scotch Whisky 27, 1992-2020, Refill Sherry Butt, 42% – The Maltman

Posted on 13 October 2021 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

I don’t really try whiskies from the Maltman that often. It’s one of those bottlers that I know exists and releases rather high-scoring drams, most of the time. But when push comes to shove I often have to make a … Continue reading →

Aberlour 16, 1997-2013, 51.2% – Distillery Only

Posted on 6 November 2018 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Somehow, Aberlour is not a distillery I get to try a lot of. There aren’t a lot of independent bottlers compared to some others, and their official range is quite static. A few age statements and their A’bunadh (an awesome … Continue reading →

The rest of the day in Speyside

Posted on 22 June 2013 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Apart from our kick-ass tour at BenRiach distillery we spent the rest of the day driving through the countryside. I was planning on visiting Macallan and Aberlour. The latter as much for their supposedly stunning bottling as for the distillery. … Continue reading →
