Arran 16, 55.4% – Master of Malt

Posted on 6 February 2013 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

We’re nearing the end of the Master of Malt series of single casks and vattings. The latter are in the That Boutique-y Whisky Company series. It’s a good thing that we’re nearing the end too, before I start to look … Continue reading →

Bally Delicious 23, 54% – Master of Malt

Posted on 5 February 2013 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Bally Delicious is, of course, not a distillery, and since this one was tea spooned it is technically not even a single malt. I read on some twitter thingy from Master of Malt that it was spooned with whisky from … Continue reading →

Invergordon, 41.6% – That Boutique-y Whisky Company

Posted on 4 February 2013 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Another one from TBWC, since typing it out is too much of a hassle. Anyway, the first grain whisky they’ve released. Since this year they have branched out into this, and also into the blended and blended malt territory. All … Continue reading →

Tormore 28, 60.2% – Master of Malt

Posted on 3 February 2013 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Tormore is a rather new and unknown distillery, at least to me. To see a 28 year old bottling at over 60% abv makes me wonder what exactly they are doing there. Was this the most dense cask ever, or … Continue reading →

Auchentoshan 27, 58% – Master of Malt

Posted on 1 February 2013 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Auchentoshan, one of the few remaining Lowlands distilleries, is one you come across rather often. Usually, though, not at this age. Between 8 and 15 years old is much more common, of course, but I don’t think I have ever … Continue reading →

Braes o’ Glenlivet 21, 47.4% – Master of Malt

Posted on 31 January 2013 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Braes o’ Glenlivet, or Braeval, distillery is one that you don’t see very often. Actually, since I started with whisky about 8 years ago I think this is only the third bottling I’ve tasted. It closed down in 2002 which … Continue reading →

Bunnahabhain 23, 46% – Master of Malt

Posted on 30 January 2013 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Funnily enough, I was wondering why on God’s green earth people would water down single cask bottlings like this. It turns out, that the 46% is right on the money for this cask strength baby! How’s that for a coincidence? … Continue reading →

Springbank, 54.6% – That Boutique-y Whisky Company

Posted on 29 January 2013 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

The only drawback with That Boutique-y Whisky Company I have found so far is that it’s a chore to type. I think that’s part of the gimmick too. Anyway, early in the new year they released a batch of new … Continue reading →

Deanston 19, 53.4% – Master of Malt

Posted on 25 January 2013 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Another one of the recent slew of Master of Malt releases. At some point I started talking about the daily release they were doing. It has calmed down a bit now. Deanston then, I know absolutely nothing about this distillery … Continue reading →

Tobermory 17, 57% – Master of Malt

Posted on 24 January 2013 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

In a recent batch of samples I received was this wee baby. A 17 year old Tobermory and a single cask. Time for Tobermory to prove itself, since I am not a fan of their usual output. The 15 year … Continue reading →
