Yesterday was the International Whisky Day - a day to honor Michael Jackson, one of the greatest whisky writers of all times who died 6 years ago in 2007. His "Malt Whisky Companion" inspired generations of malt aficionados (me included). As Michael was "Mr. Macallan" I thought I would have a dram of his favorite malt - until I realized that I didn't have any Macallan at home... damn! My solution: a lovely Glenglassaugh 23yo 1984 Wilson and Morgan - big sherried malt and a wonderfuld dram to honor a VIP of malt whisky - Sláinte Michael - wherever you are now (I hope you can proft from the angel's share above Scotland!)... :-)
