Ben Nevis 21, 47.5% – The Whisky Show Exclusive (Past Future)

Posted on 2 October 2018 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Past Future obviously sounds weird. This is the first of a triptych by, I want to say, The Whisky Exchange. But it’s bottled for The Whisky Show of last weekend. Bottled by Speciality Drinks or Elixir Distillers. I’ve lost track … Continue reading →

Blind Tasting Competition Day 4: Ben Nevis 18, 1995-2013, 51.8% – The Whisky Agency

Posted on 10 December 2015 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

After yesterday’s disappointing zero-pointer I had to put in another semi-random guess. I waited with today’s distillery selection until after the results, but since I tasted the whisky on Monday I wasn’t overly sharp on specifics anymore. Apparently, I wasn’t … Continue reading →

Ben Nevis 16yo, 1997-2013, 55% – Abbey Whisky’s Rare Casks

Posted on 4 October 2014 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer
