A Brown Drink and a white-ish drink

Posted on 12 July 2013 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

I tried to go through some of the 100-odd samples I have in my backlog during our Scotland trip. I didn’t get very far of course because you buy new stuff, and beers, and you go out for food too. … Continue reading →

Posted on 6 May 2013 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Bowmore, 48.7%, batch 1 – That Boutique-y Whisky Company

Posted on 8 February 2013 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

This Boutique-y release shows a guy stealing clothes from the Bowmore swimming pool. The reference is made because the excess heat from the distilling process is used to heat said swimming pool. Anyway, I heard many good things about this … Continue reading →

The second to last Master of Malt bottling for a while. Clynelish is an all time favourite of mine so I have high expectations of this one. I just seem to love almost all bottlings that come out of that … Continue reading →
