Port Ellen 16, 1981-1998, 62.4% – Cadenhead Authentic Collection

Posted on 10 November 2022 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Sometimes Tom van Engelen sends me reviews for publication on MaltFascination. Sometimes I forget. So now I have a backlog of a few that I’m trying to get through before the end of the year. Young Port Ellen has become … Continue reading →

Glen Scotia 17, 1977-1994, 57.5% – Cadenhead Authentic Collection

Posted on 20 March 2022 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Unless things go horribly awry, I’ll be in Campbeltown in 9 days. Contrary to what you might expect we’re not visiting any distilleries, since time is ridiculously limited and we’re already visiting Watt Whisky. Of course, we’re visiting some shops … Continue reading →

Clynelish 15, 1992-2008, Bourbon Hogshead, 56.4% – Cadenhead Authentic Collection

Posted on 3 March 2022 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

To say that Clynelish can do no wrong in my book is a bit of a stretch, but I am a bit of a fan of the distillery’s output. In my book that makes the balance swing both ways. When … Continue reading →

The best of 2021, part deux

Posted on 11 January 2022 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Apart from last week’s post on what whiskies were strictly the best according to my rating, there are two lists that I still want to get out there. The first is the ‘not best but very impressive otherwise’ whiskies, and … Continue reading →

Glenrothes 22, 1996-2018, Bourbon Hogshead, 50.5% – Cadenhead’s Whisky Market Cologne

Posted on 10 November 2021 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

My whisky buddy RvB sometimes tours with his band, and when he does, he visits Cadenhead shops across Europe. Generally, that results in a bottle-share or two. This bottle is one of such shares, if I remember correctly. And, with … Continue reading →

Caol Ila 10, 1989-2000, Bourbon Barrel, 46% – Cadenhead

Posted on 14 October 2021 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

These Cadenhead bottlings are always interesting. Most of what I tried from this era was at cask strength, and they all shared a sort of ‘razor sharp’ profile, whether it was a Rosebank, a Bladnoch, or a Laphroaig. When I … Continue reading →

Mannochmore 20, 1997-2017, Bourbon Hogshead, 52.7% – Cadenhead

Posted on 21 September 2021 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Mannochmore is, to me at least, one of those distilleries that pops up with something really good every decade or so, and then is quickly forgotten about. Just before deleting the second paragraph I decided to look down the annals … Continue reading →

Heaven Hill 2005-2015, Bourbon Barrel MoS15042, 52.1% – Malts of Scotland

Posted on 20 September 2021 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

I always thing it’s funny when a brand like ‘Malts of Scotland’ releases a whisky that’s neither a malt, nor from Scotland. Of course, with all the Irish stuff and American releases that are coming out from bottlers, this happens … Continue reading →

Anomaly 26yo, Bourbon Hogshead, 49% – Cadenhead Online Tasting Week

Posted on 15 September 2021 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

With my order going horribly wrong last year, for Cadenhead and Springbank’s Online Tasting Week, I decided to skip this one, especially since Brexit had already happened too. Of course, most whiskies were probably awesome and very reasonably priced, because … Continue reading →

Ardmore 24, 1977-2004, Sherry Butt, 58.6% – Cadenhead

Posted on 26 July 2021 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Generally I love Cadenhead. And also, I tend to love Ardmore. So when MvZ was pruning his collection and I could buy this bottle from him, quite a bit below current retail value, I jumped on it. Of course, it … Continue reading →
