Fable, a second batch

Posted on 18 August 2022 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Some time ago, a new bottler showed up in shops without much fanfare. At least, it went quite unnoticed until the Mannochmore was rated with 90 points on Whiskyfun. Suddenly, things looked up and I went looking for a bottle. … Continue reading →

Posted on 1 March 2022 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

It’s been ages since I last tried a Compass Box whisky. Or at least, since I last reviewed one. There was the Transistor, which I did with Punk IPA next to it in February, but before that it was 2018. … Continue reading →

Posted on 25 April 2017 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Weird. I’ve already been planning a whisky tasting and a trip to Scotland for 2018. Because of that, when I saw someone post the ‘Diageo Special Releases 2017’ I was mainly confused to why someone would post last year’s list. … Continue reading →

Glen Elgin 1991-2007, 16yo, 46% – Cooper’s Choice

Posted on 23 November 2016 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Somehow I have never owned a bottle of Glen Elgin. I think I’ve just never been able to find one that suited me, since I generally like their bourbon cask whiskies. They tend to be slightly green and grassy but … Continue reading →

Posted on 8 August 2016 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

This here blog has been around for six years already. The actual date was August third, but that passed rather eventless. However, last Saturday was the annual barbecue-and-booze celebration. I made the fairly predictable huge hunks of pork again, although … Continue reading →

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 →

Posted on 9 December 2014 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Finally I got some points with my guessing! Yesterday and the day before I got some kudos for guessing the right region, today I got it for that, some for age and two more points for ABV. I think they … Continue reading →
