Springbank 1996-2016, 19yo, cask 551, 54.9% – Archives

Posted on 5 April 2016 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Contrary to the big boys of whisky blogging, I’m not going to write the three Springbank reviews of the newest Whiskybase Archives batch in one go. Mostly because that would leave me with little else to blog about for the … Continue reading →

Auchentoshan 1990-2014, 23yo, 47.7% – Archives (Indian Ducks)

Posted on 7 March 2016 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Auchentoshan and me have a bit of a weird history. Not a long one, mind. When I started my whisky journey and bought loads of starter whiskies, I really like Auchentoshan 10. Since there was so much out there, there … Continue reading →

Invergordon 1972-2016, 43yo, 49.7% – Whiskybase (70,000 bottles)

Posted on 16 February 2016 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Whiskybase made it a thing to release a new whisky under their own label at every 10k mark in their database. The 70,000th whisky was added a while ago and this whisky was bottled to celebrate that. What’s even better is … Continue reading →

Littlemill 1990, 22yo, 56% – Whiskybase (40,000 bottles on the wall)

Posted on 13 July 2015 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

I’ve traded some Whiskybase samples recently, and wanted to try this wee Littlemill of theirs. I know one of the guys who runs the shop is a huge Littlemill fan and with the releases of the last couple of years … Continue reading →

Photo bombing: The Usquebaugh Society’s 25th Anniversary party

Posted on 15 June 2015 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

I generally only take pictures of the drams I’m having, and yesterday afternoon was no exception. The pictures and impressions of the event itself are on Facebook in a lot of different posts by a lot of different people. Here’s … Continue reading →

Burnside 1989-2014, 24 years old, 51.7% – Whiskybase

Posted on 4 June 2015 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

This is a blended malt, in a way. Well, officially it is. It’s a cask of Balvenie, teaspooned with Glenfiddich. So actually, it’s just Balvenie which they put some Glenfiddich in to make sure no one can call it that. … Continue reading →

Heelslaying, or bottle ends in March

Posted on 1 April 2015 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

When the year started I announced how much smaller my collection had to be by the end of the year. Then, as more people were planning such escapades there was a twitter hashtag with updates on emptied bottles. I posted … Continue reading →

GlenDronach 21yo, 1993-2014, Cask #23, 52.1% – OB for WhiskyBase

Posted on 13 January 2015 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

When this bottling was announced I knew right away that I wanted it. Somewhat strange because not all my experiences with GlenDronachs are that good and I’ve had at least one single cask from 1994 that I just didn’t like … Continue reading →

Glen Keith 1992, 21yo, 51.5% – Archives (Fishes of Samoa)

Posted on 8 January 2015 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Another Archives bottling from the Fishes of Samoa series. The guys at Whiskybase are using this label theme for quite a while, contrary to The Whisky Agency for example, who only have a theme for some four bottlings each time. … Continue reading →

Blind Tasting Competition 8: Littlemill 23yo, 1990-2014, 47.8% – Archives

Posted on 14 December 2014 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Well, yesterday nipped me in the but. I didn’t slide down too much, but I think I should have guessed that one right. As in, I already tried that dram twice and at both occasions I ‘assessed’ it. So, again, … Continue reading →
