Posted on 11 January 2022 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Apart from last week’s post on what whiskies were strictly the best according to my rating, there are two lists that I still want to get out there. The first is the ‘not best but very impressive otherwise’ whiskies, and … Continue reading →

A Mezcal Masterclass by Meug & Palenque

Posted on 9 July 2021 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

It’s been quite a while, since this actually happened. And the way I participated doesn’t make any sense. I had nothing in my agenda on April 30th yet. And since I like Mezcal, but don’t want to buy too many … Continue reading →

Five Mezcals by ‘El Jolgorio’

Posted on 25 May 2020 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Benevá Añejo Mezcal, 38%

Posted on 25 April 2016 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

What? More bottle shares? Again?

Posted on 28 January 2016 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Exactly 36 days ago I wrote about left overs from bottle shares. While most of these bottles have not been emptied yet, I am already planning new ones. I’ve got some things in the running at the moment that I … Continue reading →

Mezcal Bottle share #3: Los Danzantes and Alipus

Posted on 25 July 2015 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Ladies and Gentlemen, I’m doing another bottle share. I keep finding Mezcal a hugely interesting drink. And while not even all bottles from the previous share have been reviewed yet (my to-review queue is about a mile long by now) … Continue reading →

Alacrán Mezcal Joven, 46%

Posted on 24 July 2015 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

This is one of the two remaining mezcals that I still needed to review from the last bottle-share. I’ve been working my way through the scraps of some of those I already reviewed for a while now and thought it … Continue reading →

Cinco de Mayo: Three Mezcales de Leyenda

Posted on 6 May 2015 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

A while ago I did a second Mezcal bottle-share of which I haven’t reviewed yet. It’s about high I did, since I have been sipping from them and I don’t want them to get emptied before I wrote tasting notes. … Continue reading →

Posted on 14 March 2015 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

The last of my mezcal collection until yesterday. Yesterday the five new mezcals for the second bottle share came in, but I’m going to do some whiskies again before reviewing those. Anyway, this one is one I bought from The … Continue reading →
