Hazelburn 11, 2007-2019, Re-Charred Bourbon Barrels, 54.2% – Springbank Society

Posted on 27 October 2022 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

This is one with a bit of history. I ordered it from the Society back in 2019, and even though I tried arranging pick-up or delivery quite a few times, it never actually happened. I was only able to pick … Continue reading →

Springbank’s output, from Sauternes casks

Posted on 5 September 2022 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

And no, not just Springbank from Sauternes casks, there’s also the Longrow and Hazelburn. These three bottles were released some five years ago for the Springbank Society. They are all about the same age, with the Hazelburn being a few … 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 →

Springbank 28, 48.2% – Springbank Society

Posted on 21 December 2021 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

That things haven’t been going to plan, hope or expectation for a while needs no explanation. The same is true for Springbank Distillery, and their planned open day. Add to that that they always select some to-be-bottled single casks for … Continue reading →

Springbank 12, 2001-2013, 53.5% – Springbank Society

Posted on 21 October 2020 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

It’s feels like it’s been ages since I got my hands on a Springbank Society bottling. I know there’s one sitting in Campbeltown which I was supposed to pick up last April. Obviously that didn’t happen, and I’m not entirely … Continue reading →

Longrow 11yo, Refill Re-charred Sherry Butts, 56.9% – Springbank Society

Posted on 7 January 2020 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

This bottle was the first one I emptied this year. Of course, it’s only been a week, but still. This also means I’ve not done anything on this blog that has been a staple since the beginning, with end-of-year lists … Continue reading →

Posted on 13 May 2019 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Yet another sample I had in my cupboard from some years ago! And what a sample it is. A local barley Springbank (they already got me there), from the Springbank Society (cool, cool), from a sherry cask and bottled for … Continue reading →

Longrow 2001-2016, 14yo, Fresh Sherry Butt, 53.2% – Springbank Society

Posted on 14 May 2018 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

It’s not very often that I go through my own bottles at a rapid pace. But somehow, with sherry casks from the Springbank Society that never seems to be a huge problem. In this case it only took a while … Continue reading →

Hazelburn 18, 1997-2015, Leaky Sherry Butt, 54.4% – Duty Paid Sample for The Sprinbank Society

Posted on 21 March 2018 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

This is a bit of a weird one. Initially, this cask was selected by attendees of the Springbank Whisky Festival in 2015, to be bottled as a Springbank Society bottling. However, the cask was almost empty when they wanted to … Continue reading →

Longrow 2001-2015, 13yo, Chardonnay Cask, 56.7% – Springbank Society

Posted on 15 November 2016 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

I’ve been a member for the Springbank Society for about seven or eight years now, and while I did miss out on some bottles, most of them have found their way to my shelf. Most of them have also been … Continue reading →
