The best of 2021

Posted on 7 January 2022 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Apart from looking back, using hindsight to evaluate what happened on a more generic level, there was of course a lot of booze last year. In The Netherlands bottle-shops are in the same legal category as supermarkets and other foodstuff … Continue reading →

Westport 12, 2004-2016, Sherry Butt 900053, 54.3% – Wilson & Morgan

Posted on 5 November 2021 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

This one has to start with a bit of clarity. Westport is a randomly chosen name used for certain blended malts. These blended malts are always (with a grain of salt, since there’s no definite certainty on it, due to … Continue reading →

Glenmorangie 15, 2005-2020, 58.1% – SMWS 125.77 (Graceful Elegance)

Posted on 6 January 2021 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

I’m not entirely sure how gracefully elegant a 58.1% whisky will be, especially not as a first dram, but let’s give it a go. It’s been a while since I had an SMWS bottling, and I didn’t doubt long to … Continue reading →

Glenmorangie Tùsail, 46%

Posted on 6 October 2020 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

When this was released I tried to bottle-share it, but I believe no one was interested. Why care about Glenmorangie, right? However, the entire concept of this bottling, with the maris-otter barley instead of regular far-more-yielding barley was something that … Continue reading →

Glenmorangie 19, Finest Reserve, 43%

Posted on 19 December 2018 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

I somehow don’t review too many Glenmorangies, while I do really like the distillery’s output. This not reviewing many is mostly because their core range is very stable and they don’t do too many special releases. Also, a lot of … Continue reading →

Glenmorangie Signet, 46%

Posted on 30 August 2018 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

In his recent guest post, Shai called Glenmorangie Signet ‘his favorite whisky he likes to drink, but not buy’. I found that a curious statement, but it got me thinking about it. When Signet came out, I guess about a … Continue reading →

Good whisky and good times at the Lufthansa First Class Terminal

Posted on 20 August 2018 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

To keep the posts flowing, I’ve come to realize that guest posts are a helpful thing. If I’m not mistaken, it has only happened once before, in eight years time. Today sees the second one. My friend Shai, sometimes mentioned … Continue reading →

Glenmorangie Milsean, 46%

Posted on 1 February 2016 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

For the seventh time Glenmorangie releases their annual Private Edition series. So far there have been hits and misses, and for me some unknown. The biggest success in the range was the Ealanta, I think. The Virgin Oak matured whisky was … Continue reading →

Glenmorangie Ealanta, 46%, 19 year old Virgin Oak, Private Release

Posted on 16 February 2015 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Every time Glenmorangie release a new Private Release the internet buzzes with reviews of it, and generally the bottling sells out really quickly. So far the only ones that didn’t sell out fast were the Sonnalta and the Finealta. And … Continue reading →

Hielander Whisky Festival 2015

Posted on 15 February 2015 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

I realized a while ago that this 5th edition of the Hielander Whisky Festival is also the fifth time I’m there. So so far I didn’t miss a single one. I think this is something to keep up. This year, … Continue reading →
