Posted on 28 December 2021 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Yet another iteration of ‘I shamefully admit having lost this sample somewhere in the cupboard’, until recently of course. With this being released in 2020, I suspect this came in during the construction work being done on our house last … Continue reading →

Best of Wines’ Blind Tasting Competition #4

Posted on 2 December 2021 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Loch Lomond 13, 2005-2018, 50% – Whiskybroker

Posted on 29 August 2020 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

This heavily peated Loch Lomond was bottled by Whiskybroker.co.uk in 2018, and if it was an official bottling this would have been called Croftengea, Inchmoan or Inchfad, since that’s how they brand their heavily peated whiskies normally. Because this is … Continue reading →

Inchmurrin 1996-2018, 51% – Malts of Scotland

Posted on 31 December 2018 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

I was just checking, but I’ve not reviewed an Inchmurrin since the triptych from the Whisky Nerds came out last year. I’ve had some in between and even guessed on right in a blind tasting I was at, a few … Continue reading →
