[MM-MALTS-L] List Administrator Query

[Kraaijeveld A.R.]

You salty dog, nice to see you're still alive and kicking!

As to Glenfarclas 105, I've enjoyed that one from the very beginning of my whisky travels. Michael Jackson states in one of his books that it's great with a piece of rich fruit cake.

It is.

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.
