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 →

Old Rhosdhu 29, 1990-2020, Refill Hogshead 416, 48.2% – WhiskyNerds

Posted on 2 March 2021 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

About two weeks ago the newest WhiskyNerds release came out. This time they opted for an Old Rhosdhu from 1990. Old Rhosdhu is one of the older brands of Loch Lomond Distillery. So, in a way this is not a … Continue reading →

Getting reacquainted with Bladnoch.

Posted on 7 June 2020 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Bladnoch is a troubled whisky, from a troubled distillery. If memory serves it was bound for demolishment when it was sold by Diageo to Raymond Armstrong, who then tried to revive it but had to go through lots of legal … Continue reading →

Old Pulteney 1990-2015, 53.7% – Cadenhead

Posted on 7 May 2020 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

I’m looking north again, in regards to whisky. Not necessarily to Scotland, which is entirely north of The Netherlands, but mostly to Orkney, Sutherland, Caithness and the Highland Council regions of Scotland. Distilleries like Balblair, Old Pulteney and Highland Park … Continue reading →
