Posted on 9 September 2022 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Wardhead 21, 1997-2018, 54.6% – Càrn Mòr

Posted on 8 August 2022 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Which distillery is this, this Wardhead? Well, as most whisky nerds know by now, there are some code names for distilleries that don’t want their name used on labels. Westport is Glenmorangie, Burnside is Balvenie, ‘Secret Orkney’ is Highland Park, … Continue reading →

Eye Land Pork 21, 1998-2019, Refill Hogshead, 48.3% – The Whisky Jury

Posted on 15 March 2022 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Another one of those recent bottlers that keeps being ridiculously popular. So much so that when it becoems available in The Netherlands it’s through those more ‘exclusive’ websites that keep the middle ground between retailers and secondary market. The looks … 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 →

Posted on 29 October 2021 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

I guess the ‘expensive rum bug’ has bitten me too. After Michiel Wigman’s Precious Moments, which I still need to review, there’s this oldie. From an undisclosed distillery on/in Jamaica, to the Wu Dram Clan. On their Facebook page there’s … Continue reading →

Posted on 16 September 2021 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

A few years ago when a whisky was from an undisclosed distillery, that generally meant the bottle was a bit cheaper than its named counterparts. That is far less true now, since people have come to realize that the whisky … Continue reading →

Posted on 13 July 2021 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer
