Posted on 14 October 2020 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

One of these samples I found in my collection. Yet again. Inchmurrin, as some of you will know, is one of the many brands of Loch Lomond Distillery in Alexandria, near the loch of the same name. Inchmurrin is one … Continue reading →

Just short of greatness

Posted on 15 August 2017 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

You know that feeling when you are tasting a very, very good whisky, but somehow it just doesn’t cross the magical 90-point threshold? You realize that you’re tasting whisky that’s way above average, but you can’t shake the feeling you … Continue reading →

Benromach 1974, 41yo, Sherry Cask, 49.1%

Posted on 13 September 2016 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Finally, I decided to try this baby. G&M/Benromach sent it to me a few months ago, right about when all the other reviews came online. Somehow I’ve not been tasting a lot of whisky lately and I wanted to properly … Continue reading →

Smith’s Glenlivet 1974, 43% – Gordon & MacPhail’s Rare Vintage

Posted on 31 March 2016 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Glenlivet doesn’t pop up all that often in independent bottlings. Also is it not quite on the radar of the usual suspects I taste whisky with. The result of that is, of course, that I don’t try many Glenlivets. This … Continue reading →

Ladyburn 1974-2015, 40yo, 40.9% – OB for the Asian Market

Posted on 4 March 2016 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Like all other whisky fanatics, I don’t have much experience with Ladyburn. This is purely due to a lack of availability, and the prices of what is available. The distillery closed in 1975 so you can imagine that now, 41 … Continue reading →

Ledaig 1974-1992, 43%

Posted on 19 January 2016 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

After trying the tremendous Ledaig 42 from 1972 last year, I thought there might be something to early seventies Ledaig. I never got around to trying many of those and when someone posted a share of this one on Facebook, … Continue reading →

Posted on 22 December 2015 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

At the moment of writing I’ve just finished today’s dram (by now, yesterday’s) and have no idea what it is yet. I just want to get the boring bit of the blogpost (the tasting notes) out of the way so … Continue reading →
