Glen Grant 25, 1993-2018, 50.8% – Cadenhead’s Club

Posted on 15 February 2019 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

With most clubs associated with distilleries or bottlers you wonder what it’s for. In a lot of cases it is barely more than a  quarterly newsletter and some ‘exclusive’ section of their website that barely offers any added value. Of … Continue reading →

Cadenhead’s bottle-share

Posted on 21 January 2019 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Towards the end of last October I did yet another ‘last’ bottle share of the year. The last one because I had been stressing my wallet, and everyone else’s in my sharing group. Of course, that wasn’t true and I … 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 →

Posted on 15 June 2015 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

I generally only take pictures of the drams I’m having, and yesterday afternoon was no exception. The pictures and impressions of the event itself are on Facebook in a lot of different posts by a lot of different people. Here’s … Continue reading →

My favorite whiskies of 2014

Posted on 29 December 2014 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

I started doing my end-of-year lists yesterday with the music one. I love doing that since it makes me reconsider what I’m listening to for a large part of every day, and everybody else does their lists first so I get … Continue reading →

Posted on 23 August 2014 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

A while ago I went to a club meeting and Leon Zonneveld, of “Uw Top Whisky” fame (which is considerable among whisky geeks in The Netherlands) brought me some bottles. I paid for them, and shipping which I didn’t need. … Continue reading →

Blind Tasting Competition 6 – Balvenie Triple Cask 16yo, 40%

Posted on 12 December 2013 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Another day, another random guess. I found this whisky particularly generic. Without being disrespectful, that usually sends me to Speyside, especially since there is quite a lot of sherry casks being filled around there. Some distilleries thrive on that (Glenfarclas … Continue reading →
