Posted on 4 January 2014 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Another one of the samples that I got from Stefan van der Boog, together with the Macallan one. Of course you have to buy more than one thing, since postage has to be made the most of. I don’t have … Continue reading →

A Surprise tasting at De Whiskykoning (2/2)

Posted on 3 December 2013 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer
