Springbank 23, 1995-2018, 48% – WhiskyNerds

Posted on 26 November 2018 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

It’s not been two weeks since I did the previous review of a WhiskyNerds bottling. That Lagavulin 21 was amazing, and hot on the heels of that one comes a fresh sherry matured, 23 year old Springbank. Their Lagavulin scoreed … Continue reading →

Glenallachie 10, 2007-2017, 64.7% – Adelphi

Posted on 8 November 2018 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

This sample is a fairly random one I found in my collection after ordering something from Dramtime.nl. Also, it is only the second Glenallachie from Adelphi ever, according to Whiskybase. I find that kind of surprising, but I guess that … Continue reading →

Ben Nevis 21, 47.5% – The Whisky Show Exclusive (Past Future)

Posted on 2 October 2018 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Past Future obviously sounds weird. This is the first of a triptych by, I want to say, The Whisky Exchange. But it’s bottled for The Whisky Show of last weekend. Bottled by Speciality Drinks or Elixir Distillers. I’ve lost track … Continue reading →

Dufftown 1979-1998, 57.1% – Cadenhead’s

Posted on 24 September 2018 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

As a thank you for hosting the Blog Birthday Bash (which I still haven’t blogged about) I got a sample of this from whisky friend MvZ. He is a guy that focuses on old whisky, with shifting interests. There was … Continue reading →

Two Springbanks from the Cage!

Posted on 10 September 2018 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

When in Campbeltown you have to visit Cadenhead’s. Especially since Mark Watt took over they’ve quickly become one of the, if not the, best bottler I know. However, when at Cadenhead’s, you’re technically also at Springbank. And, maybe coincidentally, that … Continue reading →

Posted on 1 September 2018 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

I was discussing a trip to Scotland I’m planning for winter with a friend, with said friend. We were debating whether or not to fly to Glasgow and do the Arran/Campbeltown/Fort William trip or to fly to Inverness and venture … Continue reading →

Balblair 1996-2018, 54.4% – OB for La Maison du Whisky

Posted on 14 August 2018 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

I love Balblair. I liked them before, but ever since I visited them in 2013, I really loved them. However, I somehow barely ever buy a bottle. Some, but not a lot. Which I tried to remedy a little bit … Continue reading →

3 Arrans by Highland Titles

Posted on 30 June 2018 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Highland Titles is a foundation selling tiny plots of land as a souvenir, a bit like the Friends of Laphroaig plots. However, where the Friends of Laphroaig are more a gimmick, the idea behind Highland Titles is to combine all … Continue reading →

My accidental blend…

Posted on 18 June 2018 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Last week I blogged about Ardbeg and spontaneously comparing it to my ‘accidental blend’. This blending happening deserves a post of its own, which also is a bit of a ‘look at me fucking up’ post… I’ve embarrassed myself in … Continue reading →
