Finglassie ‘Lowland Smoke’, bottled in 2021, Marsala cask, 54% – Cooper’s Choice

Posted on 10 August 2022 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

To close of a short series of undisclosed single malts we’ll try this one. Of course, it’s not really undisclosed, since the subtitle of the whisky says ‘distilled at Inchdairnie Distillery’, but Finglassie is close enough. Inchdairnie Distillery is a … Continue reading →

Benriach 12, bottled 2020, 46% – The Smoky Twelve

Posted on 24 March 2022 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

I guess that settled whether I should write ‘smoky’ or ‘smokey’… Anyway, this BenRiach is one of the revamped editions from recent years, after Brown-Forman took over. A mix of casks was used, with Bourbon, Sherry and Marsala casks all … Continue reading →

Aberlour 10, 2010-2021, Marsala Finish, 46% – Hart Brothers

Posted on 22 March 2022 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

As stated last week, Aberlour isn’t exactly on my radar. Mostly because, apart from the rocket fuel that is A’Bunadh, I don’t really care for most of the official releases. A bit too smooth, a bit too sweet, a bit … Continue reading →

Glenturret 10, 2010-2021, Marsala Hogshead 6358, 57.8% – Infrequent Flyers

Posted on 27 December 2021 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Generally, I think Glenturret is a fine distillery. Not that I gobble up anything that becomes available, but the general level of quality is ‘pretty deece’. Of course, there’s quite some rather legendary stuff from the late seventies, but when … Continue reading →

Posted on 10 September 2021 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Contrary to regular years, in which I visited the shop in Den Bosch regularly for tastings, I now visit the shop semi-regularly to pick up tastings. As in, samples, for later tasting. I generally get a sample pack of each … Continue reading →

Once more, Tom writes a guest post on some recent discoveries he did. In this case, something truly new: Dalmunach whisky! Dalmunach was erected on the site of the much beloved yet quite unknown Imperial Distillery. As a whiskynerd interested … Continue reading →

Posted on 6 January 2019 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

In April of last year I went to Islay with three of my best friends for a rather epic week of booze, scenery, Scotland and a few games of Cards Against Humanity. We decided to not do too many distillery … Continue reading →

Bunnahabhain, 2018

Posted on 23 April 2018 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Exactly two weeks ago was the day we visited Bunnahabhain Distillery. I did visit it before in 2010, but I didn’t do a tour back then. There wasn’t enough time during our stay on Islay to also take in the … Continue reading →
