Ralph you drunken bum - it is spelt knowlegdreabel

I was a prolific (wearily so to many I'm sure) contributor to the old
Malts-L and have been very remiss in not contributing to the current
apparition (?). Be that as it may, Benhard's points - repeated below - are
valid for me:

1. It is nice nostalgia.
2. It is the father (or and mother) of all this modern things.
3. It will regain popularitiy as a niche, not to be used by every moron
that can klick with a mouse.

Yeah - let it be so. 

And as I have a large drachma of something very tasty in my (nah, can't be
- the only Greek thingie I have in the house is a sponge bought on Piraeus
wharf in 1967) hand I shall revert to matters more consequential.
Glenfarclas 105. I hang my head in shame - all these years I have been
snootily avoiding the stuff as mass market kitsch and finally I bottle the
stuff - it's bloody lovely. When did it first appear? Charlie Mac has it in
his 1993 volume (you there Charles? can you confirm a prior apparition?).
It is a real sweety speyside slurper with abv boots on.

And on a slightly controversial note, Glenfarclas can claim the record as
the malt with the highest NaCl content of any - far from the tide tho' it
may be.

May the current list prosper.
