Posted on 23 November 2023 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Lindores Abbey Distillery

Posted on 30 August 2022 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Or at least, their whisky. I visited the place in spring, at which point a sizeable bottle share with a tasting to accompany said share could not not happen. Of course, writing actual tasting notes for the drams themselves takes … Continue reading →

Kingsbarns Bell Rock, Sherry & Bourbon Casks, 46%

Posted on 25 August 2021 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Daftmill 2006, Summer Release, 46%

Posted on 24 August 2018 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Daftmill is a very strange company. I think it’s the most old fashioned whisky distillery in Scotland, based on the limited information that I have. They’re a working farm, and distill in the slower seasons, with their own barley. Also, … Continue reading →
