Bunnahabhain 23yo, 1989-2013, 44% – Abbey Whisky’s Rare Casks

Posted on 7 October 2014 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Another pretty well aged whisky. I’ve seen other sites starting to call whisky of some 18 to 30 years old ‘medium aged’. I still consider that pretty old. Just to keep myself from getting to ridiculously spoiled. I also think … Continue reading →

Bunnahabhain 1990, 21yo, Jubilee Malt 2, The Whisky Barrel, 54.5%

Posted on 21 January 2014 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

It took me a while to find specs on this bottle online, since it’s apparently a release by The Whisky Barrel, but bottled by Whiskybroker.co.uk. Rather strange. Another strange fact is that the name of the distillery is widely known … Continue reading →

A Surprise tasting at De Whiskykoning (2/2)

Posted on 3 December 2013 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

The second half of the surprise tasting write-up at De Whiskykoning in Den Bosch. Tasting twelve whiskies in a row in just over two hours is taxing. The glasses were properly covered with glass lids so I started by nosing … Continue reading →

Manning up

Posted on 20 August 2013 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

I’ve been blogging about money quite a few times, if I remember correctly. What I didn’t tell so far is that I’ve been overspending in a rather ridiculous way the last year. It’s not that I cannot pay my bills … Continue reading →

€ 1000 of whisky – Take 2

Posted on 10 February 2013 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

On April 9th of last year I blogged about a tasting I went to in which we tasted 6 whiskies, mounting up to a little over a grand of booze. The idea by the organization/hosts was to have one last … Continue reading →

Bunnahabhain 23, 46% – Master of Malt

Posted on 30 January 2013 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Funnily enough, I was wondering why on God’s green earth people would water down single cask bottlings like this. It turns out, that the 46% is right on the money for this cask strength baby! How’s that for a coincidence? … Continue reading →

Bottle-share uitslag

Posted on 10 September 2010 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Nu alle bottle-share flessen nogmaals geproefd zijn en de aanvankelijke proefnotities zijn aangevuld met wat uitgebreider materiaal rest er weinig meer dan een lijstje te maken van de uitslag. De top 10 (uit 10) whisky’s, welke vind ik het lekkerst … Continue reading →
