Belgian blogger Ruben Luyten has been blogging about whisky for ages (here), but since a couple of years he also has a sherry blog. I don’t know where he gets the time or the constitution to keep that up, but … Continue reading →

Posted on 13 October 2015 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

I never had a Paul John whisky before. I know they’ve been making way for a couple of years now, and that they’ve won a lot of awards. But then again, which distillery isn’t marketing their asses off and which … Continue reading →

Arran 13 year old, 1999, single bourbon cask 99/103, 55.3% – UK Exclusive

Posted on 1 May 2015 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

It took me a while to find this bottling on Whiskybase because I didn’t know the age. It being 13 years old means it’s bottled in 2013, and I thought it was a more recent release. Anyway, I’ve been loving … Continue reading →

Arran Sauternes Cask, 50%

Posted on 29 April 2015 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

The first dram from the Twitter Tasting last week was Arran’s Sauternes Cask. I always feel like this is a remainder of how they started little over a decade ago. When Arran’s first whiskies started to come out they had … Continue reading →

Posted on 28 April 2015 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

I’m going to report on last Wednesday’s Twitter Tasting in a bit of a jumble, starting with this bottling that ended the tasting. I didn’t report earlier since I took my wife to Venice for her birthday (which was in … Continue reading →

Trick or Tweet with Rachel Barrie

Posted on 31 October 2014 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Yesterday Morrison Bowmore and Rachel Barrie hosted a Twitter Tasting a bit of a Halloween theme. There hadn’t been much information available so it wasn’t until a sizable box arrived earlier this week and I had a peak that I … Continue reading →

Venturing into darkness. Another three Sherry reviews

Posted on 10 June 2014 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

During the Sherry Twitter Tasting I wrote about earlier, we didn’t stop at two. Of course we didn’t as there is more than Fino and Manzanilla to come from that neck of the Spanish woods. As we continued our Twitter … Continue reading →

Three peated AnCnoc: Rutter, Flaughter, Tushkar

Posted on 1 May 2014 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

A couple of weeks ago I got contacted by Lukasz from Alembic Communications, although if you know the bloke it’s probably because he’s part of the Edinburgh Whisky Blog crew too. AnCnoc was releasing three new whiskies, all peated, and … Continue reading →
