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 →

Longrow 18, 1999-2018, 52.9% – OB from the Cage

Posted on 23 December 2019 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Longrow, the ‘peated-to-Islay-levels’ version of Springbank with a slightly shorter distillation regime, is one of their three brands. With it being a Springbank whisky, it means they have cage bottles available at the shop in Campbeltown. When I was there … Continue reading →

Hazelburn 2005-2018, 54.6% – Cadenhead Authentic Collection

Posted on 22 December 2019 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

When I bought this bottle I figured it would be a slam dunk because Springbank is a great distillery, and Cadenhead is a great bottler. Also, when you check the almost 87 points it gets on Whiskybase, you’re still good. … Continue reading →

Bad-Ass Whisky Night #4

Posted on 21 June 2019 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

My backlog of things to blog about is massive. I still have notes lying around from tastings I went to three years ago, and I still mean to use them for a write-up at some point. However, this tasting was … Continue reading →

Hazelburn 18, 1997-2015, Leaky Sherry Butt, 54.4% – Duty Paid Sample for The Sprinbank Society

Posted on 21 March 2018 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

This is a bit of a weird one. Initially, this cask was selected by attendees of the Springbank Whisky Festival in 2015, to be bottled as a Springbank Society bottling. However, the cask was almost empty when they wanted to … Continue reading →

Some goodies from Springbank

Posted on 28 September 2017 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Springbank has long been one of my favorite (if not the favorite) distilleries in Scotland. I really liked them early on in my ‘whisky journey’, but especially since I visited the place in 2010 with my wife, I’ve been hooked. … Continue reading →

Bottoms Up!

Posted on 28 February 2014 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Tonight a couple of friends and I are going to try and get my open-bottle-count down somewhat. Since I’ve been trying to do this on my own last year I found that a) it doesn’t work that well, and b) … Continue reading →

Manning up

Posted on 20 August 2013 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

I’ve been blogging about money quite a few times, if I remember correctly. What I didn’t tell so far is that I’ve been overspending in a rather ridiculous way the last year. It’s not that I cannot pay my bills … Continue reading →

Hazelburn CV, 46%

Posted on 8 March 2013 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Ah, Hazelburn. The third brand to come from the stills of Springbank. Triple distilled, unpeated so kind of different in every aspect apart from that it comes from the same stills. I got a 20cl bottle of this in a … Continue reading →
