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 →

Bad ass whisky tasting at De Whiskykoning

Posted on 18 April 2016 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Last Friday was the day I booked a tasting at my favorite whisky shop. We went to Den Bosch, to De Whiskykoning (who has a new web site, by the way) with some friends for the bad ass whisky tasting. … Continue reading →

Smith’s Glenlivet 1974, 43% – Gordon & MacPhail’s Rare Vintage

Posted on 31 March 2016 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Glenlivet doesn’t pop up all that often in independent bottlings. Also is it not quite on the radar of the usual suspects I taste whisky with. The result of that is, of course, that I don’t try many Glenlivets. This … Continue reading →

Glenlivet 1998, 15yo, 54.8% – Signatory for Whiskybrother

Posted on 10 January 2015 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Glenlivet 20, 1993-2014, 47.1% – SMWS (2.88 Cinderella weeping over matchmakers)

Posted on 4 December 2014 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

With post titles of this length means we’re back in SMWS territory. A place I don’t mind dwelling all that much. Of course, they have their misses every now and then, and some bottlings are just not all that interesting, … Continue reading →

Whisky paraphernalia

Posted on 28 October 2014 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

I like stuff that is related to whisky. I’m not sure why, but when I see adzes on the flea market in town at King’s Day I want them, since it’s a cooper’s tool. I am never going to use … Continue reading →
