In todays review I will be having a look at the Clynelish 35 from Signatory Vintage. Bottled from cask number 3476 at a cask strength of 42,7% this release was limited to only 95 available bottles. Making me extremely lucky to get to try a pour of this very rare malt. What makes it an […]
Sometimes when you work in the industry, you get a very very cool chance… a chance to try a whisky before it’s release! As you’re reading this the official release of the new Turntable Born to be Wild is here, but as I’m writing this review it’s still under embargo and I can’t actually post
Today is a bit of a sad day… it’s the last day of Dam Dranken Week at dram1.com, but we’re ending with the absolute belter that this Thalassa Whisky Ardbeg Winter Edition is! Aged in Oloroso Quarter Cask just like the previous reviewed Thalassa Whisky Ardbeg Oloroso this version was dynamically aged for an extra
After reviewing De Verloren Whisky earlier this week, I couldn’t miss the opportunity to also review the single cask version of this amazing blend! For this Single Cask release Dam Dranken matured their blend on Terschelling in a Captain’s Catch Rum Cask. Bottled at a higher ABV of 47% and with that finish on an
Next up in the Dam Dranken Week is the King Cask Cley Distillery bottling. A whisky that brings two of my favourite dutch whisky brands together! Where King Cask is part of Dam Dranken, run by the power couple Joris and Laurie. Cley is run by power couple Paul & Maria! In Rotterdam they’ve been

The 5 year old Ardbeg used for this maturation was split in this Oloroso quarter cask, and the Thalassa Ardbeg PX quarter cask I reviewed a while ago. Since it’s Dam
De verloren whisky: Whisky and stories, they go hand in hand don’t they? Sharing a few (strong or not so strong) stories amongst friends, while enjoying a dram, has to be one of the greatest joy’s of life. Sometimes it’s the influence of alcohol that brings out the stories, sometimes the passion for a great
It’s Dam Dranken Week at dram1.com and today I’ll be tasting an reviewing their Thalassa Whisky Campbeltown. Only 169 bottles of this 6 year old Campbeltown malt we’re released and this particular release matured in a first fill bourbon barrel before being transferred aboard the Tallship Thalassa to spend another half year rocking the waves
Today I’m writing a review of the Thalassa Whisky Blair Athol. A ten year old bottling from King Cask in 2022 that took a very special journey to get to the Netherlands. The Thalassa Whisky’s are all dynamically aged aboard the Tallship Thalassa. The same ship that takes whisky lovers on once in a lifetime
I’ll be completely honest, I’ve always wanted to try the Yamazaki 18. I’m a huge fan of the Japanese Whisky Industry and from friends that have tried it, I’ve heard this must be amazing. The only downside (and reason I waited so long to try this dram) is the price tag that comes along with
