hi,<br><br>The first Glenfarclas 105 was released in 1968.<br><br>Best regards,<br>Luc<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2009/6/23 Paul Dejong <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:Paul_Dejong@telenet.be">Paul_Dejong@telenet.be</a>></span><br>

Yes I agree with the majority of the old warhorses on here: Let it remain<br>
the parent of all...even if it is rarely used.<br>
It is still a very valuable knowledge-base to me, and even if we do not<br>
post so often, that does not mean it is forgotten.<br>
I still would rather ask a question that I have here, then anywhere<br>
else...thing is, not as many questions arise these days anymore. A direct<br>
consequence of the enthousiasm and knowledge once instilled with the help of<br>
this list! Let it live and prosper!<br>
<br>
To Peter,<br>
I am pretty sure the 105 was around before 1993...If memory serves me (a bit<br>
less then it used to!) I first bought one in 1991...and I guess they were<br>
available from the mid-eighties onwards...<br>
Luc Timmermans 'mr. Glenfarclas' may know the exact period of introduction<br>
better, Luc??<br>
