Posted on 15 February 2023 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Mannochmore 10, 1998-2009, Bodega Sherry European Oak Cask, 59.1% – The Manager’s Choice

Posted on 18 January 2023 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

These Manager’s Choice whiskies are as hilarious as they are expensive. Back when this series of 27 different bottlings was released by Diageo, they just sat on shelves. At least, most of them. The ones that did sell were the … Continue reading →

Mannochmore 22, 1997-2020, First Fill Sherry Butt 12098, 55.8% – Gordon & MacPhail

Posted on 11 November 2022 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

The best of 2021

Posted on 7 January 2022 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Apart from looking back, using hindsight to evaluate what happened on a more generic level, there was of course a lot of booze last year. In The Netherlands bottle-shops are in the same legal category as supermarkets and other foodstuff … Continue reading →

Mannochmore 20, 1997-2017, Bourbon Hogshead, 52.7% – Cadenhead

Posted on 21 September 2021 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer
