Around the year 1997, the Malt Maniacs whisky
community started to coalesce around the site.
The Malt Maniacs Archives cover 1997 to 2011.
In 2007, Serge Valentin added his Whiskyfun
site to form an unholy trinity of whisky sites.

The complete reconstruction of the website will
take many more months. Follow me on Twitter
for updates on the progress on various fronts...

2015 saw the 20th jubilee of the MM website.
It was time for a major reconstruction effort to
make sure that Malt Madness remains surfable
in the foreseeable future. Some older pages may
be off-line for a while, but fortunately thereâ€™s...

After taking a break from Facebook for two
years Iâ€™ve returned to that strange medium too...

The first pages of Malt Madness were published
in 1995 by yours truly, Johannes van den Heuvel
and it has grown quite a bit since the olden days.
After loitering around GeoCities for a while, the
site found a home on www.maltmadness.com
and it has kept on growing there ever since...

Malt Madness is not suitable for mobile malt lovers yet...

Iâ€™ll try to post interesting or entertaining stuff on
Twitter (see above) and Facebook regularly.
As for the main ‘newsâ€™: I now accept donations.

LIQUID LOG / LIQUID BLOG

Due to the massive website crash of Christmas
2014 I had to abandon my blog for a while, but I
hope to pick it up again at some point...

After running on adverts
for over 20 years, Iâ€™ve had
to add a donate button to
MM to help me pay the bills.

CHANGE LOG

Until my Liquid Log and Liquid Blog have been
reconstructed, here is an overview of some of
the highlights on MM and in the Whisky world.

July 1, 2017 - The MM site has now reached
the point where advertising proceeds do not
cover the costs anymore. A donate button was
added so vistors can help keeping MM alive.

April 7, 2017 - The Beginnerâ€™s Guide has been
expanded with some fresh information and the
Whisky Label Inspector was updated as well.
Next: an expansion of the Whisky Lexicon.

March 29, 2017 - The Lexicon now covers
650 whisky world, phrases and expressions.
For the next phase I hope to add 100 more,
bringing the total to 750 entries soon.

July 1, 2018 - Iâ€™ve been quietly chugging along
with the refurbishment of the old distillery data
section and have now finished all ‘Glenâ€™ profiles.
I think Iâ€™ve deserved a break now...

October 1, 2017 - Thanks to a few donations
Iâ€™ve been able to expand the Lexicon to 750
entries. The Malt Madness page on Facebook
will keep you informed about any updates.

June 21, 2016 - The good news is that a few
fresh distillery profiles are on-line. The bad news
is that the old profiles will look like crap again
until the refreshed profile is done...

March 1, 2016 - Iâ€™m afraid that the progress
with the reconstruction is still slowed down
because of SSL/https issues. Well, at least the
updated Scotch whisky industry list is live now.

January 1, 2016 - A very happy new year!
The MM website turned 20 years old in 2015.
Malt Madness is in a decrepit state right now,
but an almost complete recovery looks feasible.

October 7, 2015 - Still trying to get all my facts
straight for the Distillery Fact Sheet 0.9 (PDF);
Daftmill is added to the active distilleries and
Bladnoch is listed as “inactive” (for now).

October 4, 2015 - Itâ€™s ‘World Animal Dayâ€™, so
hereâ€™s something Iâ€™ve learned. While itâ€™s funny to
watch your dog act funny on Baileyâ€™s (they love
the stuff), alcohol is VERY dangerous for dogs.

September 27, 2015 - The Malt Madness site
has found a new sponsor in Bartels Whisky from
the UK. But the pace of the reconstruction might
also depend on the amount of feedback I get...

August 18, 2015 - I am very happy to report
that Malt Madness is back-on-line! thanks to
our new Whiskyfun ‘shirt sponsorâ€™. In due time,
MM should be fully restored and upgraded...

April 5, 2015 - Happy Easter everybody!
The 10 chapters of the Beginnerâ€™s Guide have
now been completely reconstructed. It took me
3 months, so itâ€™s time for a leisurely break...

December 24, 2014 - The damage of the crash
was quite extensive, but a full recovery looks
quite feasible. The old Distillery Data section
and the map have been mostly repaired.

December 15, 2014 - Fate has farted in my face
once more. Some style sheets cascaded all across
‘Ye Olde Syteâ€™ - so many pages are now difficult to
read. It looks like repairs will take a few months.

February 1, 2014 - Remember when I retired
from the Malt Maniacs collective? Well, I still feel
responsible for the old content (1997 to 2011).
So, the Malt Maniacs Archives have been rebuilt.

January 1, 2018 - Happy new year, everybody!
Progress of the reconstruction is still painfully
slow. The decision to give my old familiar tools
one more shot proves to have been unwise.

August 30, 2016 - Iâ€™ll be starting with a new
temporary job next week, so updates and posts
will be less frequent for a while. My brother and
I had to close ‘Cinemaginariumâ€™ for now as well.

April 1, 2017 - My latest ‘tempâ€™ job has just
ended. Iâ€™m not exactly devastated, because the
three hour commute was hell. Iâ€™ll have to watch
my expenses, but I should have more free time.
