Glen Grant 26, 1995-2021, Bourbon Barrel, 50.6% – Whisky Sponge

Posted on 6 July 2022 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

We all know Whisky Sponge for the fairly hilarious blog posts from a while ago. Hilarious if you are a bit embedded in the whisky world and know who and what all references refer to. It seems to have gone … Continue reading →

Isle of Jura 14, 1995-2010, Refill Bourbon Barrel 3199, 57.8% – Gordon & MacPhail

Posted on 30 June 2022 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Ah, the infamous Isle of Jura distillery. On the island of ‘one’. One road, one town, one way there, one hotel, one distillery, one million deer. I was there in 2018. We were on the street across from the distillery … Continue reading →

Glenlivet 25, 1995-2020, American Oak Barrel 9480, 55.3% – OB for Jack Tar

Posted on 8 June 2022 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

‘OB for Jack Tar’ doesn’t really cover it, since it’s indeed an OB, but selected by La Maison du Whisky, under private label for Jack Tar, for the Chinese market. That doesn’t really fit the title, though. Anyway. Glenlivet is … Continue reading →

Glen Elgin 23, 1995-2019, Hogshead 3241, 52.2% – Archives for Taiwan

Posted on 1 March 2022 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

A quick review, since it’s been a while. Over the last couple of weeks I’ve been massively busy, and the reinstatement of commuting hasn’t been without time consumption either. So, between being away for a weekend, commuting, an insanely busy … Continue reading →

Clynelish 23, 1995-2019, Refill Sherry Butt 11252, 55.4% – Signatory for The Whisky Exchange

Posted on 15 February 2022 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

While initially it seemed like 1997 was going to be one of ‘those’ vintages for Clynelish, by now it seems to have been surpassed by 1995. Especially by Signatory bottlings, to be a little bit more precise. A while ago … 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 →

Imperial 18, 1995-2014, Hogshead 50292+50293, 58.3% – Signatory Vintage

Posted on 22 December 2021 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

It’s been a while since I tried Imperial. Almost two years since the last review, but in the last seven years I’ve only had three. They are getting more rare with every release, since the distillery shut its doors 26 … Continue reading →

Clynelish 23, 1995-2019, Refill Sherry Butt 11242, 56.4% – Signatory

Posted on 18 November 2021 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

At our last visit to the Hielander Whisky Festival, my father-in-law found another Clynelish he loved. He already has a weak spot for the distillery, and finding an exceptional one is always a treat. Of course, you don’t spend € … Continue reading →

Ledaig 25, 1995-2021, Hogshead 143, 50.6% – Wu Dram Clan

Posted on 12 November 2021 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

The flywheel that is the Wu Dram Clan seems to only be gaining speed, or frequency, of their releases. Hot on the heels of the insanely good Ardbeg and Jamaican rum comes this Ledaig 25. The spiritual follow-up to last … Continue reading →

Posted on 15 January 2021 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Earlier this week I got a sample in the mail of a to-be-released GlenAllachie, and today is the day that it’s available from various shops. Let’s start by expressing a bit of gratitude towards Nils of Best of Wines/Best of … Continue reading →
