Hielander Whisky Festival 2016

Posted on 14 February 2016 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Yesterday I went to another awesome session of the Hielander Whisky Festival in Alkmaar. I took some pictures, but obviously not of everything I tried. I am far too forgetful for that, and I also don’t want to disclose my … Continue reading →
