Héhéhé ;-) Obviously, the sister site of our international whisky freaks collective is a favourite. |

Billy's Booze Blog |
This blog about beer and whisky by Billy Abbott immediately charmed me with its alliterative title. |

Malt Maniacs & Friends Forum |
The forum used to be one of the best features of Facebook, but not anymore I'm afraid. |

Benito's Wine Reviews |
The psychedelic pattern on this fine wine & food blog resembles a sweater from the 1970's. |

Google Search |
Only the best search engine in the world - so Malt Madness obviously ranks high there ;-) |

There actually used to be several other categories of links, but over the years
most have been integrated with other sections of Malt Madness or Malt Maniacs;
Scotch whisky distilleries - The DD section has profiles & links for all distilleries.
Independent whisky bottlers - Most bottlers have their own web site these days.
Whisky industry - I've made an overview of all
owners of the Scottish distilleries.
Whisky brands - The DD section contains an overview of hundreds of brands.
Whisky shops - Some whisky stores use Google AdWords to display ads on MM.
Whisky bars - I'm working on an overview of
the best whisky bars in the world.
Whisky Auctions - These are use mostly by collectors, so I've removed the links.
The Malt Madness web site would not be complete without a selection of some of my
favourite links to other whisky web sites. The last update occurred on 18/01/2012
.
Scroll down for a full overview of all whisky links on this page - or select a category
from the overview at the right to jump directly to all the hyperlinks in that department.
Do you run a web site about whisky and do you want to exchange links perhaps?
Or maybe you know about a
good whisky site I've missed? If so, please let me know.
Even without the categories mentioned above, these 'Liquid Links' will grant you access to a virtual overload of information and opinions
about single malt whisky - and many other types of whisky. Nevertheless, the handful of selected links on this page only represent a small fraction of the thousands of whisky web sites
on the world wide web.
The overload of information, trivia and discussions about whisky and various related topics may seem a little excessive
to the uninitiated, but with the prices of the modern world, it doesn't hurt to compare a few different sources before deciding to invest your hard-earned cash (well, at least I assume it's hard earned and not ill-gotten ;-) in
a bottle of whisky.
Or a cask of maturing whisky, or a book, or a trip, or a bagpipe, or a kilt, etc.
For your browsing convenience, the links are divided into 8 different categories.
My personal favourite whisky links and various
whisky publications offer plenty
of fresh and independent whisky information, and the same goes for the many
different whisky blogs,
whisky forums and whisky societies & clubs. And that's
not all - there are a few reciprocal links to websites that were kind enough to add
a link to MM, links to sites about other drinks and solid links to other web sites.
A virtual overload of whisky web sites...
At the moment, the overview of 'liquid links' below contains well over a hundred links to other whisky web sites. That may seem like more than enough to satisfy the curiosity of anybody that's even remotely interested in single malt whisky. Nevertheless, it is just a fraction of the
thousands of whisky web sites (really!) that have emerged on the world wide web over the past decade and a half.
Not long after I started the Malt Madness site in 1995,
I added a page with links to whisky web sites that I also used to visit myself; PLOWED, the Malts-L forum, etc. Over the years the list grew larger and larger - but as time went by, some of those sites just withered away or
lost their sense of direction. Because it was never my intention to build the biggest whisky link library in the world anyway, I wasn't feeling too sentimental about removing whisky web sites from this page again.
These days, this page tries to provide a 'digest' (or rather, a pre-digest
of sorts) of the thousands of whisky websites around the world. In other words, this selection just represents the very best whisky web sites that I know of. Well, at least the whisky sites and forums that are
updated regularly and provide a "links" page to their readership. I haven't included any ad platforms or commercial 'community' sites. Please let me know if there's a valuable whisky link I've missed...
