Bowmore 2001, 15yo, 55.6% – Signatory for The Whisky Exchange

Posted on 30 November 2017 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

This Bowmore did get a bit of talking about in a bottle share group I’m in. Mostly because it clocks in at 160 quid per bottle, which seems like a lot for a 15 year old Bowmore. This was extra … Continue reading →

Posted on 15 November 2016 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Port Charlotte, 13yo, 2001-2015, Fresh Oloroso cask, 61.6% – Private Cask for Aart Appeldoorn

Posted on 26 September 2016 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

It’s been a while since I tried a Port Charlotte. It also seems the private casks and indie bottlings have gotten fewer in the last couple of years (maybe since Remy Cointreau took over?), but I got this sample from … Continue reading →

Posted on 8 September 2016 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

The whisky season is hitting the ground running with some really interesting releases. Of course, I wouldn’t be me if I didn’t want to try a lot of them, so there’s about to be a lot of bottle shares happening … Continue reading →

A couple of Gordon & MacPhail Drams

Posted on 22 August 2016 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Over the last couple of months I’ve been getting some G&M samples from random distilleries. The ancient Mortlach and slightly less old Benromach have been sitting and waiting for the right time. However, the somewhat younger drams have been piling … 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 →

Posted on 19 February 2016 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Back in 2014, right on the heels of The White Wizard and The Dark Lord came this release. Since then there have been a few, mostly bourbon casks from the importer and mostly sherry casks for festivals, shops and clubs. … Continue reading →

Blind Tasting Competition Day 6: Inchfad 2001-2007, 45% (Loch Lomond)

Posted on 12 December 2015 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

After yesterday’s disappointing score (zero points, obviously) I was hoping for a bit of points to get away from the bottom of the list again. Well, that didn’t work out at all. Like last year there’s one of those weird … Continue reading →

Anon. Batch 1, 13yo, 51.5% – Abbey Whisky

Posted on 28 October 2015 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Anon. (with the period, apparently) is an undisclosed single malt from Abbey Whisky’s ‘The Rare Casks’ releases. It’s been available for a while now and they sent me a sample a little while ago. It’s about time I reviewed it. There’s … Continue reading →
