Posted on 21 February 2013 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Posted on 19 February 2013 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

I haven’t seen any new bottlings recently, but until 2010 or so Diageo bottled a new ‘Friends of the Classic Malts’ bottling every year, more or less. There have been a Talisker, Lagavulin, Cragganmore and this Clynelish in the period … Continue reading →

The second to last Master of Malt bottling for a while. Clynelish is an all time favourite of mine so I have high expectations of this one. I just seem to love almost all bottlings that come out of that … Continue reading →

Posted on 23 December 2012 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Posted on 21 December 2012 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

The end is near and I’ve been gathering at least some points over the last few days. Before that it was utter crap when I finally got to a half decent position. The scores on average are a little bit … Continue reading →

Posted on 10 September 2010 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Nu alle bottle-share flessen nogmaals geproefd zijn en de aanvankelijke proefnotities zijn aangevuld met wat uitgebreider materiaal rest er weinig meer dan een lijstje te maken van de uitslag. De top 10 (uit 10) whisky’s, welke vind ik het lekkerst … Continue reading →
