Posted on 8 October 2021 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

I tried this sample blind. And now that I’ve looked up what it is, I am very grateful for having been given the opportunity to try it by BvdP. It’s not every year you get to try Ayrshire whisky. And … Continue reading →

Knockando 12, 1975-1988, 43%

Posted on 16 August 2021 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

If you are looking to get some old, official single malt whiskies, Knockando is one of the cheapest options out there. They did lots of vintage ‘dated’ 12 year old releases during the eighties, which dates the distillation date in … Continue reading →

Posted on 12 January 2020 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

In one of the scavenger hunts through the remainder of my samples I found this wee baby. A couple of centiliters from 45 years ago, bottled a rather long while ago by now. These old Bunnahabhains are a light and … Continue reading →

Posted on 28 May 2017 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

It’s been two weeks since I’ve blogged. In those two weeks quite a lot has happened, varying from major life changing things to unimportant things that are fun to yap about. Baby On May 17th, our third child, Cato, was … Continue reading →

The sixth annual Blog Birthday Bash

Posted on 8 August 2016 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

This here blog has been around for six years already. The actual date was August third, but that passed rather eventless. However, last Saturday was the annual barbecue-and-booze celebration. I made the fairly predictable huge hunks of pork again, although … Continue reading →

New bottle shares!

Posted on 18 May 2016 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Little over a month ago I wrote about still available bottle shares. I’m glad to find that most of those have all gone by now. I do have some new ones available though. Not as many, but a bit more … Continue reading →

A lot of new bottle shares, and some old ones

Posted on 12 April 2016 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

A few months ago I wrote a short overview of bottle-shares that were still available then. Most of those have sold now except the Willett one. Can’t really blame people for not knowing this rather awesome distillery. What also doesn’t … Continue reading →

Rosebank 1975-2005, 30yo, 54.8% – Silver Seal, Sestante Collection

Posted on 8 September 2015 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Ever since I tried a 12 year old Rosebank Flora & Fauna some ten years ago this Lowlands distillery has been a favorite of mine. I think it’s a shame it’s gone and there is no other distillery that comes … Continue reading →
