Kilchoman 12, 2006-2019, 50.8% – OB for 12Barrels

Posted on 26 April 2020 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Me and Kilchoman don’t match. There’s no good reason for that, but it’s just the case. It’s weird, since I’ve looked back and found a dozen or so reviews of Kilchoman on my blog. All of them (except for that … Continue reading →

Willett XCF 1.0, Curacao Casks, 51.7%

Posted on 18 April 2020 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Two newish rums from private casks

Posted on 28 January 2019 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Arran 11yo, 2006-2018, Sherry Hogshead, 51.9% – OB for The Old Pipe

Posted on 29 December 2018 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Normally I’d be busy writing about the best whisky of the year in the days between Christmas and New Year’s. Not only the best whisky, but also the best records I found, the best beer and other booze. I’d also … Continue reading →
