Posted on 25 November 2021 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

With a friend of mine being one of the Longmorn Brothers, it’s no surprise that I occasionally find a sample of the distillery’s whisky on my shelf. And for some reason, Longmorn generally comes from samples. I can’t remember if … Continue reading →

Posted on 3 June 2021 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Generally, when a bottler releases an old whisky like this, there’s quite some information on the bottle. Previous contents of the cask, year of bottling, age. Stuff that makes it stand out. Things that make you go ‘I want that … Continue reading →

Longmorn 17, 2002, Bourbon Cask, 53.9% – SMWS (7.239, Lemon curd bread-and-butter pudding)

Posted on 31 May 2021 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Well, at least this time around the name of the whisky has something to do with flavors that make any sense. So I cound that as a win! Other than that we’re talking about a bourbon matured Longmorn here. Of … Continue reading →

Posted on 7 December 2020 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

The sixth and final bottling of Michiel Wigman’s ‘They Inspired’ series is a 15 year old Longmorn. Initially this reminded me and some others of the black coloured Longmorn North Start Spirits bottled a while ago and that scared some … Continue reading →

Posted on 1 May 2019 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Every once in a while there is one of those drams of years ago that keep popping up, even though they drawn from a single cask. This Longmorn is such a dram. I tried it first a decade ago, at … Continue reading →

The Winter Queen, 9yo, 52.7% – Fusion Whisky

Posted on 20 March 2018 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

The blending of whiskies from different countries is nothing new. Ages ago this was done with American and Irish whiskeys, and in more recent years Bruichladdich mixed their product with some Irish whiskey as well. Now, under the flag of … Continue reading →

Posted on 8 August 2016 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

This here blog has been around for six years already. The actual date was August third, but that passed rather eventless. However, last Saturday was the annual barbecue-and-booze celebration. I made the fairly predictable huge hunks of pork again, although … Continue reading →
