Benrinnes 1995, 19yo, 52.9% – Signatory

Posted on 23 October 2018 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Just a quick tasting note! Benrinnes is one the blending whiskies from Diageo, with the only official release being older Flora & Fauna releases, and the occasional Diageo Premium releases in autumn. This one is bottled by Signatory, which more … Continue reading →

The Return of the Queen

Posted on 22 September 2018 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

I like this guest-post thing, so when Tom van Engelen asked me if he could write one about Rosebank, one of his (and mine) favorite distilleries, I didn’t have to think about it for long! Read on!   A whisky … Continue reading →

Two Clynelishes from the mid-nineties

Posted on 13 June 2018 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Ah, Clynelish. Another one of these Diageo distilleries that doesn’t release a lot under their own name (except for the great 14 year old and Distiller’s Edition). Of course, there is the occasional Select Reserve from 2014 and 2015, but … Continue reading →

BTC #14: Ledaig 11, 2005-2017, 58.6% – Signatory

Posted on 20 December 2017 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Yes! Another zero pointer! I’m getting back to my usual self, apparently. Also, my Peatometer is broken. Or I’m having more of a cold than I though. Or my sample was weird. I don’t really think I can blame things … Continue reading →

Bowmore 2001, 15yo, 55.6% – Signatory for The Whisky Exchange

Posted on 30 November 2017 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

This Bowmore did get a bit of talking about in a bottle share group I’m in. Mostly because it clocks in at 160 quid per bottle, which seems like a lot for a 15 year old Bowmore. This was extra … Continue reading →

A flock of Inchmurrin

Posted on 29 June 2017 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

After some posts of Islay whiskies, we’re moving a little bit east to Loch Lomond. This truly stunning are is home to a large but largely unknown distillery of the same name. Most of it’s fame (if you can call … Continue reading →

Craigduff 1973-2005, 32yo, 53.9%- Signatory

Posted on 3 March 2017 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Craigduff is a bit of a weird one. There is no such distillery and calling it a proper ‘brand’ is a stretch of the imagination too. It’s a peated Speyside whisky from Chivas Brothers, but I find sources stating it … Continue reading →

Two young Caol Ilas from 2007

Posted on 5 January 2017 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Since the theme of the first bit of 2017 is to get through a boat load of samples, here’s two in one go. Both are from Caol Ila distillery on the eastern shore of Islay, and both are from 2007. … Continue reading →

Mortlach 1998-2016, 18yo, 55.8% – Signatory for The Whisky Exchange

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 →

Imperial 1995-2016, 20yo, 50.1% – Signatory for The Whisky Exchange

Posted on 19 August 2016 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Before let’s say, 2014 or so, Imperial wasn’t on many people’s radar. They were a closed distillery but not one that had gotten a cult status, unlike Rosebank for example. For me that changed during the Blind Tasting Competition on … Continue reading →
