Benromach Distillery

Posted on 27 November 2015 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Right on the heels of a far longer tasting at Balvenie than we expected we had to go back north to Benromach. It was an hours drive, and we had an hour. And we still needed to grab lunch. Right … Continue reading →

A tour of Balvenie

Posted on 24 November 2015 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

So, during our little tromp through Speyside last week we started the Whisky bit off with a rather expansive tour of Balvenie distillery, their wee maltings and the cooperage. We were right on time for the tour, and were welcomed … Continue reading →

I just returned from a couple of days in Scotland with some of my best friends. And by ‘just’ I mean that our plane landed not three hours ago. The misses and the kids are still on their way home … Continue reading →

Glen Ord distillery

Posted on 4 July 2013 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

In a way, we also visited Glen Ord distillery during our recent travels in Scotland. It was the closest to our cottage near Abriachan. I said ‘in a way’ since we didn’t really go inside as our wee daughter wasn’t … Continue reading →

Talisker distillery

Posted on 2 July 2013 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

The first half of our week on Skye we had a cottage right across from the Talisker distillery. My wife booked the cottage without checking Google Maps so I was kind of grateful I couldn’t be blamed for that. It … Continue reading →

Balblair distillery

Posted on 25 June 2013 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

The second distillery we visited properly was Balblair. Ever since the Twitter tastings they have done through Alembic Comms/Edinburgh Whisky Blog I love the distillery. For some reason it is one I have never picked up though. Initially I was … 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 →
