Benromach Organic 2008-2014, 43%

Posted on 18 June 2015 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

This is a bit of a thing nowadays, isn’t it? Making things organic. The food hype is already dying out a bit, but in the world of whisky it’s gaining momentum. At least, I seem to be hearing things about … Continue reading →

Bunnahabhain 1987-2014, 51.3% – Liquid Art (The Osprey)

Posted on 11 April 2015 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Another one of those freaky animal/insect mash ups on the label. This time it’s an osprey with a moth body. I wonder how much of the whisky they’ve had before they come up with this stuff… Bunnahabhain is a bit … Continue reading →

Ledaig 2004-2014, 51.6% – Liquid Art (Pink Salmon label)

Posted on 10 April 2015 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Right. A pink salmon, with insects for fins or so. Weird. Anyway, to get this out of the way: I don’t like Ledaig. It displays flavors that I don’t find interesting. It has a weird smokiness that is strangely clean, … Continue reading →

Clynelish 1997-2014, 53.3% – Liquid Art

Posted on 9 April 2015 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Most people know I love Clynelish. Luckily, there have been a lot of awesome bottlings over the years varying from a couple years to a couple of decades old. In the last couple of years, the more recent bottlings that … Continue reading →

Glen Elgin 19yo, 1995-2014, 49.3% – Liquid Art (Stag Beetle label)

Posted on 8 April 2015 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Liquid Art is a fairly new bottler from Belgium. A whisky guy I met a couple of times at Maltstock (Serge Reijnders) is part of it and was kind enough to send me some samples recently. I just checked their … Continue reading →

Bowmore 1995-2014, 19yo, 57.2%, ‘The Rock Pool’ – Wemyss

Posted on 29 March 2015 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

The last one of the three samples I got from Wemyss, and if the online availability is anything to go by, this is a cracker. It was released last week on Thursday or Friday and has already sold out. And … Continue reading →

Blair Ahtol 1991-2014, 46%, ‘Foraged Fruit Fool’ – Wemyss

Posted on 27 March 2015 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

The second Wemyss review this week, and the third will follow soon (of the new Bowmore called ‘The Rock Pool’). This Blair Athol comes in a period of about a year or so in which quite some independent Blair Athols … Continue reading →

Aberfeldy 1999-2014, 46%, ‘Toffee Tuile’ – Wemyss

Posted on 25 March 2015 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

This week my first ever pack of samples from Wemyss arrived. A while ago I asked them politely if they were willing to include me on their sample list, as they do with many other bloggers. They kindly agreed, after … Continue reading →

Prometheus is a whisky release from the Glasgow Distillery Company, which is still building its distillery. In a way this is a rebuilding project since there already was a Glasgow Distillery Co. which closed its doors in 1903. By the timing … Continue reading →
