Balblair 2000-2014, 51%, OB for the Russian Federation

Posted on 24 May 2016 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Now this is a first! I’ve never had a bottling for Russia before. Of course, that doesn’t change the whisky much, but it’s just a fun fact. Anyway, this heavily sherried Balblair single cask was released two years ago and … Continue reading →

Balblair 1975-2006, 30yo, 46.2% – Jack Wiebers Prenzlow Portfolio Collection

Posted on 23 May 2016 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

It’s not really a well known distillery in The Netherlands. As in, you can get it but that’s about it. Not many shops stock Balblair, and especially the older vintages somehow tend to be skipped. It’s a shame, since there’s … Continue reading →

New bottle shares!

Posted on 18 May 2016 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Little over a month ago I wrote about still available bottle shares. I’m glad to find that most of those have all gone by now. I do have some new ones available though. Not as many, but a bit more … Continue reading →

Arran 19, 1996-2016, 54.7% – OB for Whiskysite.nl

Posted on 19 April 2016 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

The Dutch like Arran. Or more apt, the mainland of north-western Europe likes Arran. Over the last couple of years there have been loads of single casks for just about every festival and shop that’s in the business of doing … Continue reading →

Ledaig, Vintage 1996, Spanish Oloroso Sherry Casks, 46.3%

Posted on 15 April 2016 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

This limited edition Ledaig was released little over a month ago and I decided to share it. Since last year I actually have some positive experience with the brand, divided between their 18 year old, a 1974 vintage bottled 20 … Continue reading →

A lot of new bottle shares, and some old ones

Posted on 12 April 2016 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

A few months ago I wrote a short overview of bottle-shares that were still available then. Most of those have sold now except the Willett one. Can’t really blame people for not knowing this rather awesome distillery. What also doesn’t … Continue reading →

Springbank 2000-2015, 15yo, Port Cask, 50.9% – OB for Awico

Posted on 14 March 2016 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

I generally like Springbank, both for their whisky and the way they’re doing business. Most of their stuff has an age statement, most of their whiskies are at least sort of affordable. They also do quite a few private casks. … Continue reading →

BenRiach 25 Authenticus (peated), 46%

Posted on 18 February 2016 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

About 10 years ago, well, 10 months, I did a bottle share with two 25 year old BenRiachs. The regular one, and the peated Authenticus one. I also did a review of the regular one earlier after I tried at … Continue reading →

What? More bottle shares? Again?

Posted on 28 January 2016 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Exactly 36 days ago I wrote about left overs from bottle shares. While most of these bottles have not been emptied yet, I am already planning new ones. I’ve got some things in the running at the moment that I … Continue reading →

Armagnac: Baron Gaston Legrand, 1995, 40% (and a wrap up)

Posted on 27 January 2016 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

The ninth and final Armagnac from the bottle share is another Bas Armagnac, like the Laballes and the Tariquet from a couple of days ago. I didn’t overly like those drinks, even though Bas Armagnac is supposedly the better terroir … Continue reading →
