Talisker 25, 2006 release, 56.9%

Posted on 4 October 2022 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

I emptied this bottle a little while ago. It was a very nice thing to do because drinking whisky of this level is always a pleasure. It was also a very unfun thing to do, because it’s not something that … Continue reading →

Dr. Jeckyll & Mr. Hyde, 2 Bunnahabhains by Boogieman Import

Posted on 9 June 2022 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Apart from the story of Dr. Jeckyll & Mr. Hyde, there is some background to be given to the whiskies here. In this case, the whiskies are two very different sides to the same coin, sort of. Both are Bunnahabhains, … Continue reading →

Grosperrin No 73 Heritage pour Passion for Whisky, 54.6%

Posted on 19 April 2022 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

While Cognac isn’t something I review an awful lot of, there is significantly more on this blog than I would have dared guess some years ago. Back then, when Cognac was still what it still is most known for, I … Continue reading →

The best of 2021, part deux

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 →

The best of 2021

Posted on 7 January 2022 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Apart from looking back, using hindsight to evaluate what happened on a more generic level, there was of course a lot of booze last year. In The Netherlands bottle-shops are in the same legal category as supermarkets and other foodstuff … Continue reading →

Domaine Jean-Luc Pasquet, Lot 71, 1971-2021, 50yo, 52% – Passie voor Whisky

Posted on 8 December 2021 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

I don’t often review Cognac on my wee blog, but when I do, it counts. Of course, with my very limited knowledge of the distillate, and it being completely off my radar, this is because the people at Passie voor … Continue reading →

Cameronbridge 1974 and North of Scotland 1971 by Boogieman Import

Posted on 4 October 2021 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Last week Stefan van der Boog, the BOOGieman himself asked me if I would like to review the two new Single Grain Whiskies he just released under his own label. Of course, that’s flattering, and knowing these are from several … Continue reading →

GlenAllachie 12, 2008-2021, PX Hogshead 847, 54.1% – OB for Passion for Whisky

Posted on 1 June 2021 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

This limited edition GlenAllachie was released a couple of months ago by Passion for Whisky, and to nobody’s surprise it sold out rather quickly. I was conscious enough to order a bottle in time, and of course it was bottle-shared. … Continue reading →

Posted on 20 April 2021 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Yes, this is Highland Park. They all are. This bottling was released some two or three months ago by Stefan van der Boog (BOOGieman), from Passie voor Whisky. And as I do when new and sort-of affordably Highland Parks are … Continue reading →

All three of these are Clynelish

Posted on 4 December 2020 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

It seems a new Diageo rule that Clynelish can no longer be represented on labels, since everything that has been released lately is labeled as ‘Secret Highland Distillery’. Of course that doesn’t mean all these secret highlands are Clynelish, but … Continue reading →
