Two Highland Park from 2002

Posted on 15 November 2019 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Recently, Highland Park have started to be a lot more prolific in private cask releases. There’s still a slew of ‘Undisclosed Orkney’ going around, but I’m 99% sure that that is all Highland Park too, just without the official label … Continue reading →

Whiskies of the year: Runners up

Posted on 29 December 2017 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

I published the post with my whisky of the year last Monday. Generally I do the runners up first, or all in one post or so, but in this case it was a brand new whisky that I had not … Continue reading →

Whisky of the Year: Speyside 1973-2017, 44yo, 49.4% – Archives

Posted on 27 December 2017 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Just before Christmas I got a surprise package from the mailman, containing a sample of Whiskybase’s newest release. Following their earlier 1973 releases which sold out more or less instantly, they made another one available. By now it’s a year … Continue reading →

BTC #7: Glenburgie 1995-2016, 21yo, 54.1% – Archives

Posted on 13 December 2017 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

So far, I’ve not guessed one distillery correct, and only got points for age and region. On one day I got points for the ABV because it wasn’t a cask strength bottling and we were informed the lowest ABV in … Continue reading →

Two other Archives: Glentauchers and Glen Keith

Posted on 1 August 2017 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

The ‘non-Speyside’ whiskies from the recent Archives release are a Glentauchers 1996 and a Glen Keith 1992. Obviously both are from the Speyside region, but they aren’t marked as an undisclosed Speyside distillery. Both are a bit weird in regards … Continue reading →

Three new Speysides from Archives

Posted on 24 July 2017 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Springbank 1996-2016, 19yo, cask 106, 54.8% – Archives

Posted on 7 April 2016 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

The last of the three Springbanks released by Whiskybase / Archives about two weeks ago is the only sherry cask of the bunch. The cask filling date and the bottling date are slightly different but comparable enough. An interesting fact … Continue reading →

Springbank 1996-2016, 19yo, cask 550, 56.4% – Archives

Posted on 6 April 2016 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

This just occurred to me: If I just repost the entire post from yesterday, only a very limited amount of people would notice, and I’d get away with it. Sort of. This ‘second’ cask, to me at least, logically it … Continue reading →

Springbank 1996-2016, 19yo, cask 551, 54.9% – Archives

Posted on 5 April 2016 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Contrary to the big boys of whisky blogging, I’m not going to write the three Springbank reviews of the newest Whiskybase Archives batch in one go. Mostly because that would leave me with little else to blog about for the … Continue reading →

Auchentoshan 1990-2014, 23yo, 47.7% – Archives (Indian Ducks)

Posted on 7 March 2016 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Auchentoshan and me have a bit of a weird history. Not a long one, mind. When I started my whisky journey and bought loads of starter whiskies, I really like Auchentoshan 10. Since there was so much out there, there … Continue reading →
