Journeyman ‘Featherbone’ 4, 2018-2022, FB-18-0223, 45% – OB for The Barrel Baron

Posted on 19 December 2023 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

So, I got this whisky in a weird way. The Barrel Baron is a Dutch bottler and I applaud more limited edition Bourbon being available in The Netherland. It was made available through a web shop after all pre-sales had … Continue reading →

Glenwyvis 2018, Batch 02/18, 46.5%

Posted on 24 August 2022 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Yet another new distillery. I must have read about it somewhere, but when I saw the bottling in a newsletter I was still surprised. There are quite a few new-ish distilleries, so it’s hard to clearly see a single tree … Continue reading →

Caol Ila 3, 2018-2021, First Fill Quarter Cask, 52.1% – The Whisky Jury ‘1 Day Old’

Posted on 9 September 2021 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Of course this isn’t really one day old. It’s whisky after all, and the vintage and bottling year are given. It’s more like they wanted to provoke us drinkers to indicate this is a very young whisky and challenge you … Continue reading →
