- Chapter 1: Fundamentals - So, what is single malt Scotch whisky exactly and why is it special? |
|
|
Aberfeldy - Aberlour - Ailsa Bay - Allt A' Bhainne - Ardbeg - Ardmore - Arran - Auchentoshan - Auchroisk - Aultmore These were all active malt whisky distilleries in Scotland, as well as those that were closed since +/- 1975. |

The Hot List - Although it's first on this overview of contents, the Hot List was actually the most recent addition to the mAlmanac. As my Hit List with personal favourites grew larger and larger, the need for a list focusing on the most recent releases became larger and larger too. The Hot List is refreshed every time I discover an especially noteworthy new release. Of course, 'value' is a consideration here as well... The Hit List - A selection of the best single malts I've sampled, ranked from best to worst. The Shit List - Well, the name speaks for itself, doesn't it? The Bang-For-Your-Buck List - Do I want to pay as little as possible for my malts just because I'm Dutch? |

In my humble opinion, the enjoyment of single malt whisky is only enhanced further by an occasional 'detour'.

Are you lost? Well, not to worry; you can use this sitemap to find your way around the MM website.
And you'll probably need all the help you can get if you want to explore every nook and cranny
of this site. Over the years Malt Madness has been growing steadily and the website now has
hundreds of pages
dealing with a large variety of topics. I've tried to add some structure and
logic to the madness by dividing MM into 5 main sections, just like the Malt Maniacs
sister site.
Apart from the five main sections (more about those a little later) there's a 'general' section with
an
introduction to Malt Madness, this sitemap, a group of Frequently Asked Questions (about this
website), a contact page with some testimonials sent by enthusiastic visitors, some Liquid Links to
other whisky websites and a special press page with more information and high resolution images.

I imagine that browsing around MM should provide a relatively smooth surfing experience - at least for those of
you that understand the basic navigation logic of Malt Madness & Malt Maniacs - and to some extent WhiskyFun.
You can jump between the different websites with the three big
horizontal tabs at the top of each page. After you
have chosen one of the five main sections
another row of (horizontal) tabs will appear. Those tabs indicate 'where
you are' within the MM website - and allow you to jump directly to one of the other four main sections of the site.

....Beginner's Guide
- especially for novices |
|

I will go into more details
of each of the five site sections
on this page. Just scroll down and read the entire page if
you want to know more about the history and structure of
Malt Madness. If you're primarily interested in one specific
site section, you can select one of the links at the right.
As you'll find out when you browse through these pages,
the reconstruction of Malt Madness isn't finished just yet.
If you join the mailinglist
you'll receive a message when
pages or sections of this site (or Malt Maniacs) are updated.
Apart from following the navigation structure of this website, you could also use the Google search
box at the top of this page to look for
specific information about whisky. Search results for both the Malt Madness and Malt Maniacs web sites will be shown. If that doesn't provide
the
answers you seek, you might consider posting your question on the Malt Maniacs & Friends group on Facebook. At the beginning of 2010
the group already had over
two thousand members, so you should be able to find some help and/or directions there...
