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 →

Bunnahabhain 33, 1987-2021, 53.4% – Michiel Wigman, Prometheus

Posted on 17 September 2021 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Yesterday, Michiel Wigman’s newest bottles came in. I didn’t buy this one, but I did get a sample of it. I’m simply not one to spend this kind of money on a single bottle. I have never done so, and … Continue reading →

Laphroaig 21, 1987-2009, Refill Hogshead DL 4855, 50% – Old Malt Cask

Posted on 1 July 2021 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Even though this is an older Laphroaig in two ways, both well aged and from quite some years ago, my mate TvE shared it at a very acceptable price. I didn’t have to think for long to decide whether to … Continue reading →

Secret Highland 1987, 31yo, 49.6% – WhiskyNerds

Posted on 11 December 2019 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

The previous WhiskyNerds bottling was a cracking Caol Ila with a significant price tag. While the whisky was awesome, people had trouble shelling out like that, and I’ve seen the bottles discounted over the last year. The strange thing of … Continue reading →

Bunnahabhain 1987-2014, 26yo, Sherry butt, 49.8% – Berry Brothers and Rudd

Posted on 2 April 2018 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

In seven days I’ll be at Bunnahabhain Distillery, or maybe I’ve just left to go have lunch somewhere. We’ve planned the tour and warehouse tasting and I’m looking forward a lot. I’ve only ever been at the distillery without doing … Continue reading →

Bunnahabhain 1987-2015, 28yo, 55% – The Whisky Agency

Posted on 12 January 2016 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

In 2014 during the Blog Birthday Bash, Teun was kind enough to bring a bottle of 1987 Bunnahabhain. That was one of the more popular drams of the evening and my first encounter with what turns out to be a … Continue reading →

Armagnac bottle share: Saint Christeau from Distillerie Gilbert Miclo

Posted on 3 January 2016 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

So, while we’re at it, I was talking about getting interested in other boozes, like Armagnac and Sake. I have yet to get into the Sake shtick, but I am following through with that Armagnac bottle share. I know of a … Continue reading →

Glen Moray 25, 1987, Port Cask Finish, 43%

Posted on 14 May 2015 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

This Glen Moray from the ‘rare vintage collection’ was all the rage last year. It was suddenly available everywhere, and the distillery didn’t put all that much in marketing of it. Nonetheless it seems to be on everyone’s radar all … Continue reading →

Bunnahabhain 1987-2014, 51.3% – Liquid Art (The Osprey)

Posted on 11 April 2015 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Another one of those freaky animal/insect mash ups on the label. This time it’s an osprey with a moth body. I wonder how much of the whisky they’ve had before they come up with this stuff… Bunnahabhain is a bit … Continue reading →
