Posted on 3 November 2016 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Posted on 26 August 2016 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

EDIT: I made a booboo on the title. I initially had this up as being distilled in 1988. It is, however, a decade younger than that, from 1998. Mortlach has been gaining popularity and fame since Diageo revamped the packaging … Continue reading →

A boozy dinner at friends (on the other side of the country)

Posted on 1 March 2015 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Another short picture report. I didn’t take pictures of the main dish, which was a 2 kilo leg of lamb with risotto. It was awesome. Very, very awesome.

My favorite whiskies of 2014

Posted on 29 December 2014 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

I started doing my end-of-year lists yesterday with the music one. I love doing that since it makes me reconsider what I’m listening to for a large part of every day, and everybody else does their lists first so I get … Continue reading →

Posted on 2 September 2014 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Mortlach. The distillery that might have gotten the most flack from the blogging community, and raving reviews from the more professional media outlets this year. Their newly released range is pricy but supposedly good. An easy Google query can get … Continue reading →
