Glen Scotia 20, 1992-2012, 51.9% – Westwood Whisky

Posted on 10 February 2021 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Glen Scotia Dunnage Warehouse Tasting

Posted on 8 February 2021 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Glen Scotia 2008-2018, 9yo, 55.9% – Kintra Whisky

Posted on 13 October 2020 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Hey there, 2020!

Posted on 8 January 2020 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

While technically the new decade only starts next year, we’ve still moved from the tens to the twenties last week and that is much more noticeable than 2020 to 2021 is going to be. So, to get things going: Happy … Continue reading →

Posted on 19 December 2019 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

This bottle I picked up after the awesome tour and tasting at the distillery almost two years ago. I then got home and saw my credit card bill and decided to bottle-share a significant part of the haul from Scotland, … Continue reading →

Posted on 20 September 2019 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

As with most Distillery Only bottlings, you actually have to go to the distillery to pick it up. Which is yet another good reason to visit such a little piece of heaven on earth. I picked this one up at … Continue reading →

Posted on 27 August 2018 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

I got a sample of this in a share ages ago, and when selecting things to take with me on holiday for a bit of a drink at night, I grabbed it off the shelf finally. Contrary to previous years … Continue reading →
