Michael will be a big loss to the beer and whisky fraternity world wide.
To say he promoted malts would be an understatement, he really was a Legend and his legacy will live on for many years into the future.
I have a lovely story about the man, who I knew quite well, and it goes something like this:
He stopped me one morning in San Francisco in the hotel foyer and asked me some production questions re:malt whisky.
I said "Michael my meter is ticking" and before I could go any further, he stood up and said "I'm supposed to be the miserable bastard, coming from Yorkshire" "I'll get the information for free from some other poor unsuspecting egotist"
With that we both went to the bar and had ourselves a large malt!!
I respected Michael.
Sir John
