Bruichladdich 27, 1998-2016, 50.2% – Cadenhead’s Authentic Collection

Posted on 29 June 2020 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

I love Cadenhead’s and I love Bruichladdich. Not everything from both these places is awesome, but when Bruichladdich comes from a ‘normal’ cask, my level of trust rises. I got this when it came out years ago and have slowly … Continue reading →

Back in 2010 I went to Scotland for the first time. My wife and I decided to do things right and we had some money in our pockets. I had just sold my Magic: The Gathering collection, something I now … Continue reading →

Dufftown 1979, 18yo, 57.1% – Cadenhead’s Authentic Collection

Posted on 30 March 2020 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

When you see the whisky the ‘Sherrywood Matured’ on the label is kind of self explanatory. The whisky, in the bottle, is almost as dark as coffee, and even in the glass there’s quite some color to it. Also, as … Continue reading →

Mortlach 26yo, 1988-2015, 56.1% – Cadenhead

Posted on 28 December 2019 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Since I’ve been going through heaps of samples over the last year to diminish that collection at home, I’ve encountered lots of stuff I forgot I had. There even was a sample of Brora and a Port Ellen in there. … Continue reading →

Glenlochy 1977-1996, 18yo, 60.5% – Cadenhead’s

Posted on 17 January 2017 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

On Whiskybase there’s a remark for this whisky that it was sold in auction in 2015. Don’t I know it! I finally managed to get my hands on an old Glenlochy! It’s one from Cadenhead’s from two decades ago, so … Continue reading →

BTC sample 6: Glen Spey, 1995-2015, 20yo, 52.7%, Cadenhead’s

Posted on 12 December 2016 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Apart from the one I didn’t enter in time, this is the first zero pointer I got this year. While that boils down to the second one in six days, that’s actually quite an okay score compared to previous years. … Continue reading →

Port Ellen 16, 1980-1997, 62% – Cadenhead’s Authentic Collection

Posted on 9 September 2015 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

I can barely comprehend the amount of old and awesome whiskies I’ve been tasting these last few months. A lot of trades of samples have happened and that has gotten me some old Rosebank, Port Ellen, Brora and lots of … Continue reading →

Caol Ila 30, 1984-2014, 56.2% – Cadenhead’s Authentic Collection

Posted on 23 March 2015 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

The Caol Ilas we’ve seen over the last couple of years have shown some true greatness, especially those bottled at some 30 years old. The early eighties seem to have been some great years for the Port Askaig distillery. This … Continue reading →

Posted on 12 January 2015 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

This year I was invited again to join the Bottoms Up tasting in Den Bosch. Yesterday was the date and after a nicely long train journey I walked through my old home town to get to the shop just in time. … Continue reading →
