James Eadie bottlings, guided by Trademark X

Posted on 2 July 2020 by

Ages ago, a while before this entire Corona period started, a representative of the Dutch importer for James Eadie whiskies came by and gave me some samples for reviewing. We talked whisky a little bit, and got to the brand … Continue reading →

Rhumerie du Simon 15yo, 2004-2019, 61% – The Duchess

Posted on 24 April 2020 by

I decided that the summery weather warrants a summery drink, and what’s more summery than rum? Daiquiris maybe, but apart from that I can’t really think of anything. So, I picked this sample that Best of Wines recently sent me, … Continue reading →

Springbank 2004-2015, 51.9% – Malts of Scotland

Posted on 31 March 2020 by

It is no secret that I love Springbank. It more or less embodies everything I like so much about the world of whisky. They are a small company that works on a rather local scale without much happening outside of … Continue reading →

Kilkerran 15 year old, 2004-2019, Fino Cask, 51.6% – OB for Bresser en Timmer

Posted on 10 January 2020 by

I have absolutely no idea how this one slipped by me. Maybe because I just wasn’t paying attention, but normally if there’s anything from Campbeltown in a Fino Cask coming out, I need to have it. Because it is delicious, … Continue reading →

Evan Williams 9yo, 2004-2013, 43.3%

Posted on 4 December 2019 by

A bit of a disclaimer first: I only bought this bottle to get a bit more value for money on shipping costs from a whisky auction. I did buy it several years ago and it just sat on my shelf … Continue reading →

Speyburn 2004-2018, 52.5% – OB for Boomsma NL

Posted on 2 March 2019 by

I wrote a little introduction to Speyburn distillery a little while ago and I thought about copying it here. You know, just to check if people read with a bit of attention and notice. Anyway, this whisky was released last … Continue reading →

Bunnahabhain Moine 2004, 13yo, Marsala Cask, 56.6% – OB Distillery Only

Posted on 6 January 2019 by

In April of last year I went to Islay with three of my best friends for a rather epic week of booze, scenery, Scotland and a few games of Cards Against Humanity. We decided to not do too many distillery … Continue reading →

Miltonduff 10, 2004, 1st Fill White Wine Hogshead, 59.8% – SMWS (72.43)

Posted on 21 December 2018 by

This is about as random as it gets, I think. Miltonduff, which you don’t come across often and therefore I have no idea what to expect. It’s not overly old and a Speyside whisky, so my money would be on … Continue reading →

Old Pulteney 2004-2018, Cask 128, 62.1% – OB for The Whisky Exchange

Posted on 24 May 2018 by

Old Pulteney is an underrated distillery, in most cases. People now know that older versions, like the 1990 or 1989 that won Jim Murray’s Best Whisky thingy, are good, but there’s a lot more that’s good from the Wick distillery. … Continue reading →

Love and hate for Lagavulin

Posted on 30 April 2018 by

That’s some title, isn’t it? Hate is quite overstated, but I have to lure unsuspecting readers in some way, don’t I? Anyway, the third and last distillery we toured while on Islay a few weeks ago was Lagavulin. I did … Continue reading →
