Posted on 3 September 2020 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

A second bottling from Claxton’s that I got my hands on. This time it’s a 21 year old Tomatin, which was also discounted to a pretty reasonable price. My view of Tomatin is that it can be a great whisky, … Continue reading →

Posted on 14 October 2018 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

One of these samples that I found in my stash when selecting which drams to bring on the summer holiday. I only looked it up now and saw that it was drawn from a ‘toasted hogshead’, which is an interesting … Continue reading →

My accidental blend…

Posted on 18 June 2018 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Last week I blogged about Ardbeg and spontaneously comparing it to my ‘accidental blend’. This blending happening deserves a post of its own, which also is a bit of a ‘look at me fucking up’ post… I’ve embarrassed myself in … Continue reading →

Posted on 26 October 2016 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

During a club tasting on a very sunny September afternoon we got to talking about wine casks and how they are generally quite crap. The host decided to give me a sample of a whisky that’s an exception to that … Continue reading →

Longrow 21, 46% – OB for the Springbank Open Day 2016

Posted on 16 August 2016 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

When this one was announced, I got all giddy on the inside. That was slightly lessened by the price of a bottle, but I still was enthusiastic about it. A 21 year old Longrow. There’s only ever been one Longrow … Continue reading →

The sixth annual Blog Birthday Bash

Posted on 8 August 2016 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

This here blog has been around for six years already. The actual date was August third, but that passed rather eventless. However, last Saturday was the annual barbecue-and-booze celebration. I made the fairly predictable huge hunks of pork again, although … Continue reading →

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 →

Posted on 23 December 2015 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

The penultimate day of the Blind Tasting Competition was upon us yesterday. A big and sherried whisky was waiting for us and the only thing we knew was that it couldn’t be a Highlander. I didn’t score much over the … Continue reading →

Posted on 27 August 2015 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

During my last Blog Birthday Bash buddy TT left me a sample of this. Contrary to what usually happens (I’m trying to improve this, it’s going better) it didn’t disappear in my nigh-infinite sample stash but I drank it soon. … Continue reading →
