[MM-MALTS-L] Smokehead

Tue Oct 6 20:51:25 CEST 2009

Serge,

That's why it's for me quite redundant to know what exactly would be in it
... you never know what you will get every time you buy a bottle of it. 

You are a marketeer yourself. Just take a look at it as a product: it is
what it is: a cheap way to sell peatheads their peated whisky, and the real
target group will never even wonder what would be in it, because they are
just looking for ... a cheap peated whisky.

I repeat it again: WE are the 0,000X% of the whisky-enjoying population who
wants to go and find out what whisky would be in that bottle. People who
want to look beyond this type of product, and want to 'explore' the whisky,
will anyhow encounter the things they like during their journey along the
Water of Life.

Only my 2p of course, but as Astrid suggested: where is the discussion ;-)
??

Cheers,

Bert.

Err, right, Astrid, the simple fact that the bottlers may change the  

'recipe' with any new batch makes the discussion quite difficult,  

unless each batch is clearly identified somewhere on the label...

Indeed...
