Today’s post is going to be a quick photo dump of last Saturday’s afternoon session at the Hielander Whisky Festival. Last year we skipped it due to a family weekend in the Ardennes, but this year we went back to … Continue reading →

Posted on 5 September 2023 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

It’s not just my own reviews that I get around to with a huge delay, but also Tom’s. So, this one he wrote about half a year ago, and I’m only posting it now. There’s one more in the pipeline … Continue reading →

Burnside 1999-2023, Oksamyt Wine Finish, 57.9% – Berry Bros. & Rudd

Posted on 16 August 2023 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Where Fiddichside is obviously Glenfiddich, Burnside is their neighbouring distillery of Balvenie. As with many distilleries nowadays, they don’t want their distillery name on the label, and on top of that things have to be bottled as a blended malt. … Continue reading →

Ben Nevis 1995-2023, Moscatel Finish, 52.6% – Berry Bros. & Rudd for Kirsch Import

Posted on 11 July 2023 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Goodie goodie goodie! Ben Nevis from the mid nineties! That promises a massive fruit bomb over a nice but gentle Highland character. Ever so slightly funky because, after all, it still is Ben Nevis! This specific cask was bottled for … Continue reading →

Glencadam 1990-2011, 56.6% – Berry Bros & Rudd

Posted on 26 January 2023 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Glencadam is, to me at least, one of those distilleries that you’ve tried every now and then, but have never really focused on in one way or another. As in, years ago I tried their official 15 year old and … Continue reading →

Longmorn 22, 1969-1991, 43% – Berry Bros. & Rudd

Posted on 4 July 2022 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

It might come as no surprise that a sample of such a Longmorn comes from one of the Longmorn brothers. I’ve had it for a while and never really felt like the time was right for drinking it. When something … Continue reading →

The Nordic Casks #1, Berry Bros. & Rudd

Posted on 19 November 2021 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

A little while ago, ‘The Nordic Casks’ were released by London bottler Berry Bros. & Rudd. The Nordic Casks is a set of four different whiskies from, you’d never guess, the Nordics. Single cask bottlings from a distillery in Norway, … Continue reading →

Speyburn 26, 1988-2015, Cask 2114, 52.3% – Berry Bros. & Rudd

Posted on 5 March 2021 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Speyburn, one of those distilleries that does things more or less the same as they did it when the distillery opened. At least, that’s the way their official bottlings taste. Made more or less infamous by the insessant unwanted marketing … Continue reading →

Orkney Island 2005-2020, 14yo, 59.7% – Berry Bros & Rudd for Whiskybase

Posted on 23 February 2021 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Of course this is Highland Park. All of the ‘undisclosed’ Orkney whiskies are Highland Park. This one was released sometime during the end of last year and I scored a bottle for bottle-sharing. I ended up with some 10cl for … Continue reading →

Posted on 27 October 2018 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Yet again, Tom van Engelen climbs his pen, as we say in The Netherlands. This time he tries a sherry cask from Berry’s and a 1968 Glen Garioch. Talk about old whisky… A sherry cask matured whisky can be a … Continue reading →
