I learned from a taxfree shop in an airport (I think it was Heathrow) that Lagavulin distillery had had a fire, and lost some of it´s production. It caused some frustration and higher prices.

This applies whether the final output is a beer or spirit. I suppose it differentiates between the usual and some form of artificially produced spirit but I don't know of any examples of the latter. > > Dan Matyola > http://www.pentaxphotogallery.com/danieljmatyola > > On Fri, May 4, 2018 at 7:06 PM, mike wilson wrote: > > > > > > On 04 May 2018 at 18:28 "Daniel J.

Yes, but. Blended Scotch can be mixed with any grain whiskey Single malt scotch can only be distilled from malted barley from a single distillery; Blended scotch can use any whiskey from any grain, malted or not. Blended malt whisky, like Green Label, is blended from whiskies from several distilleries, but only whisky form malted barley, not from generic" grain.

Re: New Member
No, Costco liquor prices are the same as the fancy wine and liquor store in my town. But Costco does import scotch that’s bottled as their house brand, Kirkland. It’s good and somewhat of a bargain. But it’s a blend. Some of the bottles sold online by Flaviar and others can be purchased here. But I’ve often clicked on a bottle only to get a “not available in Michigan” message. Chicago scotch prices are usually about 20 percent less than the Michigan ticket. Paul > On May 4, 2018, at 1:55 PM, Daniel J.

I like Laphroig as well. A solid bargain. I usually don't pay $90 for Lagavulin; one has to shop the discount liquor stores and keep an eye out for specials. When both Laphroig and Lagavulin are priced too high, I go for Green Label (a blend but with single malts only, no grain spirits) or Bush Black or Irish Honey. One must be flexible.

Re: New Member
Welcome Dale, I don’t know if you’ve spent time on other online photo discussion fora, the good news is that PDML seems to be one of the most technically clueful groups of photographers in an on line forum. The bad news is, that the other ones are even worse. If you ask for either technical or artistic advice, you will get some excellent, well informed answers. You’ll also get a lot of pure, impure and tainted bollocks for advice. And puns, you’ll get those also. You’ve undoubtedly seen comments about the annual, do pick up a copy. The first one came out shortly after I joined the list and my copy was an excellent lesson in the art of humility. > On May 2, 2018, at 9:52 PM, Dale H.

Re: New Member
Welcome to the group, Dale. My father was a history nut. His passion was visiting old and threatened cemeteries and documenting the material on the gravestones. The records were to the County Historical society, for genealogical and other research. I did a lot of rubbing of gravestones as a boy.

Re: New Member
Welcome to the group. My wife is deep into genealogy and we've been going on genealogical vacations over the past few years - traipsing through small towns and cemeteries in New England and the midwest. They are fun trips. I shoot film and digital and usually use B&W film in cemeteries - Tri-X pushed to 1600 is a favorite. I don't document info but focus on the graphics in the stones themselves. Digital infrared and color (especially in the fall) also come into play. I'd be very interested in hearing how you use colored filters on the K70 for digital B&W. Mark Dale H.

Hi Dale, Welcome to the PDML. I’m a 70-year-old codger who worked with filters and a darkroom for more than 30 years. They’d have to hog tie me and beat me to go back to that now.

Re: New Member
Welcome, ditto what Alan said :-) Your'e just a kidif you are in your 50's :-) I always shot with colored filters when I was still attached at the hip to my LX and KX bodies when shooting BW. Now I've gotten used to shooting raw+jpg and switching to BW in Photoshop elements ... converting to BW in post is pretty satisfying... WHen I first switched to digital I -did- shoot bw in camera (I have a K-5 now but started with ist D.) butfound it much easier to not switch in camera between color and BW after finding I had taken shots in BW that I meant to shoot in color - so shooting in color and not switching settings in the field was safer..
