Glen Scotia 2008-2018, 9yo, 55.9% – Kintra Whisky

Posted on 13 October 2020 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

I might be a bit of a snob, but when I’m at a whisky festival, I veer towards the exclusive stuff. Random 9 year old whiskies I generally skip. Not just at festival but also in shops. Why? These can … Continue reading →

Posted on 20 March 2020 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

With every ten thousand new bottlings added to WhiskyBase they release a new whisky. Apart from that Whiskybase occasionally releases something extra, and this Glen Scotia was exactly that. It was released last year, at twelve years old from a … Continue reading →

Posted on 19 December 2019 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

This bottle I picked up after the awesome tour and tasting at the distillery almost two years ago. I then got home and saw my credit card bill and decided to bottle-share a significant part of the haul from Scotland, … Continue reading →

Glen Scotia 15yo, 2001, Mashman’s Reserve, 58.2% – Distillery Only

Posted on 20 September 2019 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

As with most Distillery Only bottlings, you actually have to go to the distillery to pick it up. Which is yet another good reason to visit such a little piece of heaven on earth. I picked this one up at … Continue reading →

Posted on 27 August 2018 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

I got a sample of this in a share ages ago, and when selecting things to take with me on holiday for a bit of a drink at night, I grabbed it off the shelf finally. Contrary to previous years … Continue reading →

My accidental blend…

Posted on 18 June 2018 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Last week I blogged about Ardbeg and spontaneously comparing it to my ‘accidental blend’. This blending happening deserves a post of its own, which also is a bit of a ‘look at me fucking up’ post… I’ve embarrassed myself in … Continue reading →

Some Ardbeg and some realizations

Posted on 6 June 2018 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

The best way to describe this here blog is ‘whisky ramblings’. I don’t consider myself to be a very capable whisky taster, with inconsistencies over the years at best. Every now and then my preferences change and with it, my … Continue reading →

Glen Scotia, 2018

Posted on 7 May 2018 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Around September last year I posted on Facebook, asking for tips for me and my friend FV to spend an afternoon and evening in Campbeltown. While I did get some way-too-obvious things, like Springbank and Cadenhead’s, I also got the … Continue reading →

Bad-ass Whisky Night at De Whiskykoning #3

Posted on 4 March 2018 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Last Friday it was time for the sort-of annual bad-ass whisky night at Whiskyslijterij De Koning in my old home town of Den Bosch. Man have I dropped a year’s salary there over the last decade… Anyway, the concept of … Continue reading →

Glen Scotia 1991-2013, 46% – Wemyss Malts (Merchant’s Mahogany Chest)

Posted on 4 May 2016 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

I think Wemyss has taken lessons from the Scotch Malt Whisky Society based on how they name their whiskies. This ‘Merchant’s Mahogany Chest’ has a name based on the flavor of the whisky. So, I expect deep and woody flavors … Continue reading →
