Fable, a second batch

Posted on 18 August 2022 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Some time ago, a new bottler showed up in shops without much fanfare. At least, it went quite unnoticed until the Mannochmore was rated with 90 points on Whiskyfun. Suddenly, things looked up and I went looking for a bottle. … Continue reading →

Blended Scotch Whisky 42, 1976-2019, Oloroso Finish, 46.2% – The Maltman

Posted on 22 February 2022 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

This Blended Scotch Whisky consists of Ben Nevis, Clynelish, Teaninich, Macduff, Dailuaine and Invergordon. Not the least interesting names in the business! Also, while this states having had an Oloroso finish, what didn’t really fit the title, is that that … Continue reading →

Teaninich 20, 1999-2019, 49.7% – Michiel Wigman

Posted on 28 July 2020 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

This was the first bottling I got that was done by Michiel Wigman. Mr. Springbank, the embodiment of Dutch Whisky Connection, to me at least. To see a Teaninich bottled was something of a surprise, since it’s not a distillery … Continue reading →

What’s in a name? Double casking…

Posted on 23 December 2018 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

My friend Tom van Engelen has written another one of his posts comparing whiskies that should never be compared. Does a name really influence your experience of a whisky? I am not well acquainted with all those Viking expressions from Highland … Continue reading →

Blind Tasting Competition 14 – Teaninich 29yo, 1982-2012, 52.2% – Dewar Rattray

Posted on 20 December 2013 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

I should make some rectifications to what I said yesterday about the competition not being fun anymore. I discussed it with Ewald, who organizes most of it and came to the conclusion that it’s just the competing part that I … Continue reading →

Teaninich 21, 1973-1994 – James MacArthur’s

Posted on 26 February 2013 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

In 1994 there was some celebration that whisky had been in existence for 500 years. It was of course nothing like the stuff we know and love today, but back in that day Friar John Cor was ordered to make … Continue reading →
