[MM-MALTS-L] Still here

[Peter Wood]

Hello Unc

As I swooned with delight at the thought of being trapped in the ionosphere
swirling around this magnetic lady of your imagination (I shall call her
Aurora) I lifted the first dram from a newly opened bottle of Duncan Taylor
NC2 Glen Elgin 16 years old. I immediately awarded it 3 Michelin Stars. Or
perhaps 4 Firestone Stars or even 5 Dunlop Stars for those of Mackintyre
descent.

Many years ago I had a bottle of Cadenhead's Longmorn that reminded me more
of the discarded pneumatics used as weights on a silage pit than the
product of a malt distillery. This Glen Elgin is so sulfurous the Longmorn
seems more a distant memory of the perfume and petrol from a Blower Bentley
drifting around a tight curve compared with the flapping remanants of a
smoking rubber screeched from the wheel rims of an overloaded Mack logging
truck lugging 40 tonnes of radiata pine down to the pulp mill.

Have Glen Elgin done away with copper stills or is the NC2 range the bottom
of the barrel? Anybody else tried this stuff?
