Glen Scotia 17, 1977-1994, 57.5% – Cadenhead Authentic Collection

Posted on 20 March 2022 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Unless things go horribly awry, I’ll be in Campbeltown in 9 days. Contrary to what you might expect we’re not visiting any distilleries, since time is ridiculously limited and we’re already visiting Watt Whisky. Of course, we’re visiting some shops … Continue reading →

Posted on 1 December 2021 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

The penultimate post on Best of Wines’ BTC, with another batch of three interesting drams. Interestingly, there was another on in here I should have recognized, and another that I have in my collection but haven’t gotten around to yet. … Continue reading →

Glen Scotia 26, 1992-2018, Bourbon Hogshead, 47.3% – Cadenhead

Posted on 25 June 2021 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

I went into this dram with great expectations. It’s Glen Scotia, which I love. It’s also Cadenhead, which I also love. Of course, both have their ups and downs. Since it’s been quite a while since I got this sample, … Continue reading →

Glen Scotia 20, 1992-2012, Hogshead 08/71, 50.4% – Archives

Posted on 29 March 2021 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

If I’m not mistaken this was in the first batch of whiskies ever released by Archives, which has since become a more-or-less household name for whisky fanatics in The Netherlands, and abroad. I got my hands on a bottle recently, … Continue reading →

Posted on 16 February 2021 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

For every season there is a tasting at De Whiskykoning. Of course, in 2020 those couldn’t happen. However, Rob (the owner) decided to sell packs of samples with a description, and make youtube movies for the tasting. Of course, I … Continue reading →

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

Posted on 10 February 2021 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

This completely random Glen Scotia came from an auction a few months ago. By now the bottle is empty because of me liking the whisky, it being used in a tasting and some bottle-shares. For some reason the ‘Westwood’ thing … Continue reading →

Glen Scotia Dunnage Warehouse Tasting

Posted on 8 February 2021 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

As with virtually everything, Glen Scotia’s open day during the Campbeltown Malts Festival got cancelled. Maybe ‘virtually’ isn’t the right word, because the virtual version is the one thing that did take place. To compensate the sadness that followed of … Continue reading →

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

Posted on 13 October 2020 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

I might be a bit of a snob, but when I’m at a whisky festival, I veer towards the exclusive stuff. Random 9 year old whiskies I generally skip. Not just at festival but also in shops. Why? These can … Continue reading →

Posted on 20 March 2020 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

With every ten thousand new bottlings added to WhiskyBase they release a new whisky. Apart from that Whiskybase occasionally releases something extra, and this Glen Scotia was exactly that. It was released last year, at twelve years old from a … Continue reading →

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 →
