Lagavulin 30, 1991-2022, PX/Oloroso seasoned oak, 44.3% – OB ‘Casks of Distinction’

Posted on 23 August 2022 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Apart from some cask samples at the Warehouse Tasting at the distillery, I don’t think I ever had a Lagavulin this old. In fact, I know that for sure. Of course, that’s not too surprising with there only being six … 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 →

Posted on 7 October 2021 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

That’s a new one, as far as cask descriptors go! One of these samples that I found on my sample shelf, and a grain whisky to boot. Apart from ‘SMWS G1.15’ there was nothing on the label, so I had … Continue reading →

The Brexiteer 27yo, 1991-2019, American Oak Barrel 7389, 46% – Whisky Center

Posted on 6 April 2021 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

The other sample I got sent from Whisky Center is The Brexiteer. A burnside blended malt, which we all know to be teaspooned Balvenie. Officially not a single malt but the amount of Glenfiddich in it is negligable, so it … Continue reading →

Posted on 2 April 2021 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

At a point in time when whisky was still a lot more affordable De Whiskykoning was not just a bottle-shop, but also an importer of several brands. Stuff happened and things changed, but there is still some stash from back … Continue reading →

Irish Single Malt, 1991-2015, 54.9% – Daily Dram

Posted on 10 March 2020 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Irish Single Malt, 1991-2015, 54.6% – Daily Dram

Posted on 8 March 2020 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Around 2015 there was a massive hype around older Irish single malts, twenty-ish years old for most of them, that has since more or less subsided. All of them were of unknown provenance, although with them being distilled around 1990 … Continue reading →
