Dear All,
	sad news, indeed.

To Michael's memory : an Ardbeg Uigeadail.

Dear all

I feel it would be fitting for malts-L to have its own tribute to Michael Jackson. What I thought we could do is to have as many people as possible raising a glass to his memory. Let me know which dram you've chosen and I'll collate everything for a write-up. 

To kick things off, for me it had to be a Macallan. But I couldn't chose, so will be raising three glasses tonight: 

Macallan 1989 (Dewar Rattray)
Macallan 1987 (Signatory)
Macallan 21 y.o. (Scott's Selection)

Come on, let's make this a really big toast!

Hi Brian,

Just two things, and as a Dutchmen I have to do this... ;-)

The 'Fishky' is from Berlin, Germany and it's a Bruichladdich... Irony in it's most perfect form...

Cheers!

Michel
