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 →

Ledaig 1995-2020, 24yo, 46.4% – WhiskyNerds

Posted on 26 August 2020 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

It seems that a lot of bottlers are getting their hands on casks of Ledaig lately. And contrary to what was happening almost a decade ago, these casks aren’t shit. There were great ones by The Whisky Kingdom/Duckhammers and The … Continue reading →

Posted on 7 July 2020 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

It’s been a while since I had anything from The Whisky Agency, but recently I got the opportunity to buy some bottles and I did. I bought the 25 year old Ledaig, and a 23 year old Ben Nevis. The … Continue reading →

Benrinnes 1995-2019, 51.1% – Cadenhead

Posted on 13 April 2020 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

During 2018 and 2019 Cadenhead released quite a few of Benrinnes from the first half of the nineties. Some where in their small batch series, like this one, but there were some single casks too, as well as some bottlings … Continue reading →

Bowmore 1995-2012, 16yo, 54.4% – Adelphi

Posted on 28 February 2020 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

If there are any regulars and they’ve read some earlier posts on Bowmores from the mid-nineties, they probably know I really love these vintages. 1993 is always the much laureled vintage, but I generally prefer 1995 and 1996 for a … Continue reading →

Posted on 24 December 2019 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

The Tony Koehl Series is a short series (four bottlings, if I’m not mistaken) by David Stirk, when he still owned The Creative Whisky Company. He doesn’t anymore since last year. I don’t know what happened with it, but when … Continue reading →

Laphroaig 20, 1995-2015, 58.4% – SMWS (Essence of Islay)

Posted on 11 October 2019 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Yet another completely random sample that I most likely got from a Bottle Share. As you can see by the year of bottling in the title, this has been collecting dust for about four years, with me completely forgetting about … Continue reading →

Springbank 23, 1995-2018, 48% – WhiskyNerds

Posted on 26 November 2018 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

It’s not been two weeks since I did the previous review of a WhiskyNerds bottling. That Lagavulin 21 was amazing, and hot on the heels of that one comes a fresh sherry matured, 23 year old Springbank. Their Lagavulin scoreed … Continue reading →

Just a quick tasting note! Benrinnes is one the blending whiskies from Diageo, with the only official release being older Flora & Fauna releases, and the occasional Diageo Premium releases in autumn. This one is bottled by Signatory, which more … Continue reading →

Springbank 21, 1995-2016, Fresh Sherry Pipe, 49% – Starkicker, Austria

Posted on 20 February 2018 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Recently I got a little bit confused about this bottling, since I thought it was from 2017 instead of 2016. That led to some strange comments from me on Facebook and some confusing discussions about it afterwards. Apparently I am … Continue reading →
