Inchgower 1982-2011, 29yo, 54.6% – Duncan Taylor

Posted on 15 August 2019 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Ah, Inchgower 1982. A whisky that got popular because a lot of it tastes like Clynelish from the same era. At least, in my circles that’s what it’s famous for. It is also why I bought this bottle a year … Continue reading →

Posted on 30 October 2018 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

With my family and I being on holiday in Scotland, in Findhorn, I had to pick some nice drams for the evenings. I might sound weird to bring whisky to Scotland, but with prices there and here, and with there … Continue reading →

Black Bull 40 #1, Black Bull 40 #4 and a rant on Black Bull 40

Posted on 28 July 2016 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

A lot of bull in this post, and that might be interpreted in multiple ways. Which is a good thing. A bit of ambiguity never hurt anyone. I think it was last week that I saw announcements for the new release … Continue reading →

Bad ass whisky tasting at De Whiskykoning

Posted on 18 April 2016 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Last Friday was the day I booked a tasting at my favorite whisky shop. We went to Den Bosch, to De Whiskykoning (who has a new web site, by the way) with some friends for the bad ass whisky tasting. … 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 →

The Best Whiskies of 2015

Posted on 30 December 2015 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

So, I had written a lengthy post about selecting the best whiskies of 2015, and how that process works for me. There was a table with my favorite two whiskies per month, and how I narrowed that list down to … Continue reading →

Bunnahabhain 1968-2006, 38yo, 43.1% – Duncan Taylor Peerless

Posted on 19 August 2015 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Lately I’ve been tasting some epic drams, if I may say so. There’s been lots of old stuff, and some really, really good less old stuff. Somehow, I’ve not had that many new releases for a while now. Can’t say … Continue reading →

Jura 18, 1992-2010, 52.8% – Duncan Taylor Rare Auld

Posted on 12 August 2015 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Thank goodness they still exist! Jura bottlings from indie bottlers that are not heavily peated! I have been trying to get hold of a good Jura bottling without any peat in it, but it seems I’ve missed my moment when … Continue reading →

Glenlochy 27yo, 1980-2007, 54.8% – Duncan Taylor, Rarest of the Rare

Posted on 6 April 2015 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Another sample I traded with whisky buddy Martin. Another one to open my eyes to my own mistakes. Strangely enough, I just read a post by ‘My Annoying Opinions’ on regretting not buying better whisky when it was still available. … Continue reading →
