Edradour 12, 2011-2023, Oloroso Sherry Butts, 57.8% – Batch 1

Posted on 10 October 2023 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Posted on 15 July 2021 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

A little while I wanted a rather specific whisky that wasn’t available in ‘regular’ shops anymore. But, according to Whiskybase there was this shop in The Netherlands that still had it. It was called ‘Whisky Exclusive‘. In a way, that … Continue reading →

Yet another The Whisky Exchange exclusive bottling which I review from a sample provided by them. I’ve been given this and another one during Billy’s trip to Maltstock, which I sadly couldn’t visit myself. However, there was time for beers … Continue reading →

Posted on 11 December 2017 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Yesterday I didn’t get around to a write up of the Blind Tasting Competition’s fourth sample, so today you’re in for a double whammy. As always with this kind of thing, there’s not much to talk about since we’re going … Continue reading →

Posted on 15 December 2015 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Yesterday I actually scored some points, but since almost everyone scored points I actually went down in ranking. Today I was certain I would score some points as I was quite certain about my guess. Of course, things turned out … Continue reading →
