Knob Creek 9yo, cask 3127, 60% – K&L Wine Merchants

Posted on 22 April 2019 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

There’s about a bazillion Knob Creek single casks out and about, mostly in America. Unfortunately they’re mostly not available in Europe, but sometimes I somehow get a sample from one. Also, now I’m thinking about it, I think all the … Continue reading →

Knob Creek 9yo, Cask 3080, 60% – OB for K&L Wines

Posted on 3 September 2018 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

September is Bourbon Heritage Month, apparently. For us outside of the USA it doesn’t mean anything and I’m not even sure it’s still a thing stateside. Anyway, I thought it was a good excuse to review a bourbon that I … Continue reading →

Is bourbon being de-premiumized?

Posted on 15 January 2016 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

This will be me just voicing my worries about the bourbon industry. A while ago I read on Sku’s Recent Eats that Elijah Craig no longer has the big ’12’ on the front label. It has moved to the back label … Continue reading →

Jim Beam Honey, 35%

Posted on 13 May 2015 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

A sample of this has been sitting in my cupboard for, I think, a few years now. I got it from BG, a whisky buddy who’s a huge Jim Beam fan and obviously had this on his shelf. Technically, I … Continue reading →

Old Crow, 43% +/- 1970

Posted on 25 November 2014 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

I reviewed an Old Crow bourbon last year, which was pretty awesome but had a crappy cap. This one is a lot better, from a regular bottle. The Italian tax label suggests that this was bottled between 1969 and 1971, … 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 →

All in an afternoon’s work

Posted on 3 November 2013 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Yesterday was the first regional tasting in Den Bosch that I attended. After my tries and lots of agendas that conflicted with those plans it finally happened. It was worth it. I added a 1966 Glenfarclas and a 25yo Ben … Continue reading →

Maltstock – Bourbon & Innovation with Hans Offringa

Posted on 21 September 2013 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

This Masterclass was not exactly scheduled to appear in the regular line-up but was announced pretty late as a prize for the winners of the whisky quiz. In the end, it turned out, it was also for the runner-ups. The … Continue reading →

Old Crow, 6yo, 43%, Traveler’s Fifth

Posted on 13 February 2013 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

This wee bottle of bourbon is older than I am. It was bottled somewhere in early the 1970s, based on the Italian tax seal on it. I like old bourbons like this, but since this kind of stuff has been … Continue reading →
