Bunnahabhain 1990, 21yo, Jubilee Malt 2, The Whisky Barrel, 54.5%

Posted on 21 January 2014 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

It took me a while to find specs on this bottle online, since it’s apparently a release by The Whisky Barrel, but bottled by Whiskybroker.co.uk. Rather strange. Another strange fact is that the name of the distillery is widely known … Continue reading →

Manning up

Posted on 20 August 2013 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

I’ve been blogging about money quite a few times, if I remember correctly. What I didn’t tell so far is that I’ve been overspending in a rather ridiculous way the last year. It’s not that I cannot pay my bills … Continue reading →

Bunnahabhain 23, 46% – Master of Malt

Posted on 30 January 2013 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Funnily enough, I was wondering why on God’s green earth people would water down single cask bottlings like this. It turns out, that the 46% is right on the money for this cask strength baby! How’s that for a coincidence? … Continue reading →
