Loch Lomond 10, 2010-2020, Bourbon Barrel 349, 57.7% – OB for The Whisky Exchange

Posted on 28 December 2021 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Yet another iteration of ‘I shamefully admit having lost this sample somewhere in the cupboard’, until recently of course. With this being released in 2020, I suspect this came in during the construction work being done on our house last … Continue reading →

Best of Wines’ Blind Tasting Competition #4

Posted on 2 December 2021 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

The last leg of the Blind Tasting Competition, or maybe the last tripod, since there’s another three reviews below. In this batch there are two bottlings I had before, but only one of them I recognized. That made up for … Continue reading →

Old Rhosdhu 29, 1990-2020, Refill Hogshead 416, 48.2% – WhiskyNerds

Posted on 2 March 2021 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

About two weeks ago the newest WhiskyNerds release came out. This time they opted for an Old Rhosdhu from 1990. Old Rhosdhu is one of the older brands of Loch Lomond Distillery. So, in a way this is not a … Continue reading →

Loch Lomond 13, 2005-2018, 50% – Whiskybroker

Posted on 29 August 2020 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

This heavily peated Loch Lomond was bottled by Whiskybroker.co.uk in 2018, and if it was an official bottling this would have been called Croftengea, Inchmoan or Inchfad, since that’s how they brand their heavily peated whiskies normally. Because this is … Continue reading →

Inchmurrin 1996-2018, 51% – Malts of Scotland

Posted on 31 December 2018 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

I was just checking, but I’ve not reviewed an Inchmurrin since the triptych from the Whisky Nerds came out last year. I’ve had some in between and even guessed on right in a blind tasting I was at, a few … Continue reading →

Inchmoan 25yo, 1992-2017, 48.6%

Posted on 18 October 2018 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Inchmoan is not really a brand that many people know of. It’s one of the lesser known names used for spirit by the Loch Lomond distillery, with Loch Lomond and Inchmurrin being the more public ones. Inchmoan is Loch Lomond’s … Continue reading →
