Posted on 15 April 2024 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Posted on 3 July 2023 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

So, the last of my Fable bottles. When I reviewed the second batch I got in for a tasting, things didn’t look too well. I thought the first bunch of bottles was awesome, but after the second one I am … Continue reading →

Thalassa Whisky 10, 2011-2022, 55% – King Cask

Posted on 28 December 2022 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Another one of those weird whiskies from King Cask. And by weird I am talking about the way it came to be instead of the actual whisky. This one, with an ‘Origin near the Falls of Bruar’, or as is … Continue reading →

Posted on 8 December 2022 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

I know where I got a sample of this, but I can’t for the life of me remember why. As in, I like Blair Athol well enough, but why on earth would I spend money (if I did) on a … Continue reading →

Posted on 16 June 2021 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

I am such an idiot. While this is not news to me, this one here is undeniable proof. A little while ago, RvB shared this bottle in my little bottle-share group, and thoroughly liking Blair Athol, I jumped on it. … Continue reading →

Posted on 17 March 2021 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Yet another incredibly young whisky from Skene. This time from Blair Athol distillery in Pitlochy. I visited the distillery about three and a half years ago. I only now realize that I never wrote a blogpost about it. I just … Continue reading →
