Bruichladdich Islay Barley 7, 2011-2019, 50%

Posted on 22 July 2021 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Before you start nagging, this whisky indeed states that it’s six years old. But, being distilled in 2011 and bottled in 2019, it can only be 6 years old if they kept it in plastic, steel or glass for a … Continue reading →

Caol Ila 10, 2011-2021, 56.2% – First Cask by WIN

Posted on 23 June 2021 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

To my surprise Ralfy reviewed this Caol Ila recently, and gave it a raving review. The surprise wasn’t in the raving review, but in the fact that he managed to get hold of a bottle of whisky that has been … Continue reading →

Glendullan 9, 2011-2021, Hogsheads, 46% – James Eadie

Posted on 14 June 2021 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

It’s not often that you find yourself tasting Glendullan. It’s a distillery who’s whisky is mostly used for blending, and since it’s owned by Diageo, my guess it goes towards J&B and Johnnie Walker mostly. This one then, bottled by … Continue reading →

Ben Nevis 9, 2011-2020, Bourbon Barrels, 46% – Signatory Vintage

Posted on 28 April 2021 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

When a new Ben Nevis pops up, I am automatically enthusiastic, since most of them are very good nowadays. When that one is young I get a little bit less thrilled, but when it’s only about € 40, that kind … Continue reading →

Tomatin 7yo, 2011-2018, 59.6% – 12 Barrels

Posted on 23 August 2019 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

12 Barrels is a ‘bottler’ from The Netherlands. Apart from the fact that they’ve bottled some casks, they’re more like a club of friends who happen to own a couple of casks than anything else. Anyway, last year they released … Continue reading →

Cadenhead’s bottle-share

Posted on 21 January 2019 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Towards the end of last October I did yet another ‘last’ bottle share of the year. The last one because I had been stressing my wallet, and everyone else’s in my sharing group. Of course, that wasn’t true and I … Continue reading →

BTC 2016, sample 3: Kilchoman 5, Sauternes Cask, 50%

Posted on 9 December 2016 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Diminishing returns, already. But at least I’ve got another couple of points. 13, just for the ABV this time. I expected this whisky to be a Longrow because of its minerality, but it turned out to be a wine cask … Continue reading →
