After touring Glenturret a couple of months ago, with my mate JPH, we did the mandatory visit to the shop. We didn’t need to exit through the gift shop, but we came to Scotland with the intention to get some … Continue reading →

Posted on 19 November 2018 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

This Whisky & Rum aan Zee festival is actually pretty close to where I live. If I’m not mistaken my local bottle shop even rents a bus to drive her customers there for a tenner (if that’s still the case). … Continue reading →

Posted on 17 September 2015 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Lagavulin is, like Talisker and Oban, not a distillery you see a lot of in the independent whisky scene. At least, it’s there, but the name of the distillery generally isn’t on the label. This one is different since it … Continue reading →
