Posted on 13 March 2024 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

If you’re thinking that you’ve never heard of this bottler, that would make perfect sense since this is the only bottling under their name. I had this sample a while ago and I still had no recollection of it, also … Continue reading →

Invergordon 43, 1973-2017, 50.3% – The Whisky Agency for Birthdays United

Posted on 14 September 2023 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

“Birthdays United”… Right. Anyway, very old grain whisky. It’s one of those things that I used to be very thrilled about a decade ago, but that has waned quite a bit. Not necessarily because it’s not good, but mostly because … Continue reading →

Four Armagnacs from Alfred Dubois Lizee, bottled for Jack Tar

Posted on 24 March 2023 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Jack Tar, the new-ish bottler of high-end spirits sent a bunch of samples over a while ago. I normally try to get around to samples like this fairly quickly, but in this case I wanted to make it a more … Continue reading →

Royal Lochnagar 28, 1973-2001, 50% – Old Malt Cask

Posted on 1 July 2022 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

When you have friends who try to celebrate decadence by pruning their whisky collection from anything that they wouldn’t rate at 90 points or higher, some old bottles tend to show up. I bought a set of bottles of the … Continue reading →

Grosperrin No 73 Heritage pour Passion for Whisky, 54.6%

Posted on 19 April 2022 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

While Cognac isn’t something I review an awful lot of, there is significantly more on this blog than I would have dared guess some years ago. Back then, when Cognac was still what it still is most known for, I … Continue reading →

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 →

Five Grain Whiskies and a Blended Malt

Posted on 15 October 2021 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Last February I reviewed a Girvan, of which I had gotten a sample in Fiddlers’ Advent Calendar. Contrary to what I expected, I really loved it and even got myself a bottle. Teun van Wel, of Maltstock fame, saw my … Continue reading →

Speyside Region, 47yo, 1973-2020, Hogshead, 45% – The Whisky Agency

Posted on 16 April 2021 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

I am trying (and often failing) to go for quality over quantity. With all the #StayTheFuckHome Tastings of the last year the amount of bottles has grown significantly, and while that’s not the only reason for it, it is a … Continue reading →

Longmorn 1973-1999, 25yo, 55.5% – Hart Brothers

Posted on 1 May 2019 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Every once in a while there is one of those drams of years ago that keep popping up, even though they drawn from a single cask. This Longmorn is such a dram. I tried it first a decade ago, at … Continue reading →

Speyside Region Blended Malt, 1973, 43yo, 47.4% – The Whisky Agency for The Whisky Exchange

Posted on 24 March 2019 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Of course, I’m far too late in reviewing this sample that was sent to me by The Whisky Exchange. However, I very much doubt the bottles lasted a second longer because of it. A blended malt from the early seventies, … Continue reading →
