Glencadam 1990-2011, 56.6% – Berry Bros & Rudd

Posted on 26 January 2023 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Glencadam is, to me at least, one of those distilleries that you’ve tried every now and then, but have never really focused on in one way or another. As in, years ago I tried their official 15 year old and … Continue reading →

Caol Ila 32, 1990-2022, Refill American Hogshead, 51.5% – Cask of Distinction

Posted on 4 January 2023 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Sometimes people go ballistic when it comes to bottling luxurious hooch. In this case we should point the blame at Wu Dram Clan, but not only them. Bram and Floris of The Whisky Nerds are guilty of this one too, … Continue reading →

Springbank ‘The Peat Bog’ 29, 1990-2019, Bourbon Cask 204, 47.5% – Glenscoma

Posted on 2 December 2022 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Since this was released in 2019, and I was very active in the whisky scene (as a consumer) I would expect to be aware this bottle existed. Of course, I was not, and it wasn’t until I saw it listed … Continue reading →

Enmore Alpha & Omega 1988/1990, casks 40, 42 and 55, 51.6% – Jack Tar

Posted on 28 June 2022 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Enmore Distillery in Guyana is an interesting one. With a quite well known brand in El Dorado, they also produce some different distillates, from the range of their setups. With that I mean that they don’t have a single distilling … Continue reading →

Glencadam 19, 1990-2010, Bourbon/Sherry Cask 5984, 56.3% – A.D. Rattray

Posted on 22 April 2022 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Well, this obviously wasn’t really a single cask, was it? It came from one cask, but before it was in that one, it was in another cask. I’ve heard, but am not sure 100% about it, that the SWA is … Continue reading →

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 →

Best of Wines’ Blind Tasting Competition #4

Posted on 2 December 2021 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

The last leg of the Blind Tasting Competition, or maybe the last tripod, since there’s another three reviews below. In this batch there are two bottlings I had before, but only one of them I recognized. That made up for … Continue reading →

Best of Wines’ Blind Tasting Competition #3

Posted on 1 December 2021 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

The penultimate post on Best of Wines’ BTC, with another batch of three interesting drams. Interestingly, there was another on in here I should have recognized, and another that I have in my collection but haven’t gotten around to yet. … Continue reading →

Fettercairn 18, 1990-2009, Oloroso Quartercask 2902, 50%

Posted on 6 September 2021 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

I haven’t reviewed many Fettercairn on this blog, and it’s fair to say I haven’t tried many more either. It’s one of those distilleries that used to have a bit of a shitty reputation with their whisky being too funky, … Continue reading →

Balblair 18, 1990-2008, Hogshead 160, 58.7% – Riegger’s Selection

Posted on 29 June 2021 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Normally I would start a post like this with something like “I quite like Balblair”, but I’m not sure if that is a relevant statement anymore. I visited the distillery in 2013, and loved it. I also really like their … Continue reading →
