As is tradition for Rob Stevens of De Whiskykoning, he hosted his annual Bottoms Up tasting yesterday. The second Sunday in January is an afternoon to be reckoned with, and this year was no different from before. Of course, it’s … 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 →

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

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 →
