Whiskies of the year: Runners up

Posted on 29 December 2017 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

I published the post with my whisky of the year last Monday. Generally I do the runners up first, or all in one post or so, but in this case it was a brand new whisky that I had not … Continue reading →

Whisky of the Year: Speyside 1973-2017, 44yo, 49.4% – Archives

Posted on 27 December 2017 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Just before Christmas I got a surprise package from the mailman, containing a sample of Whiskybase’s newest release. Following their earlier 1973 releases which sold out more or less instantly, they made another one available. By now it’s a year … Continue reading →

Craigduff 1973-2005, 32yo, 53.9%- Signatory

Posted on 3 March 2017 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Craigduff is a bit of a weird one. There is no such distillery and calling it a proper ‘brand’ is a stretch of the imagination too. It’s a peated Speyside whisky from Chivas Brothers, but I find sources stating it … Continue reading →

Speyside Region 1973-2016, 43yo, 49.2% – The Whisky Agency

Posted on 1 March 2017 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

The series this whisky is in is called ‘Good Vibes’. Generally that quite correct as to what I’m getting when having a dram of 1970s whisky. The whisky was distilled at an undisclosed Speyside distillery, which generally means Glenfarclas, but … Continue reading →

Invergordon 1973-2016, 43yo, 52.4% – Liquid Art with Beacon Spirits

Posted on 13 October 2016 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

A while ago I reviewed a German cherry brandy from Beacon Spirits. In that same batch of samples I got a 1973 Invergordon. A bottler suddenly bottling a 1973 Invergordon is no longer a surprise since there have been several … Continue reading →
