What 'the expert' says:

Michael Jackson
& his companion

Why did I go through so much trouble?
Soon after I started drinking single malts, I discovered that whiskies from different parts of Scotland all have their own unique characteristics and style. Over 100 distilleries are scattered around the four main whisky-areas; Highlands, Lowlands, Islay and Campbeltown. I found out that, if I liked a certain whisky (for example The Macallan from the Speyside district), I often also liked other whiskies from that part of Scotland. So I took the alphabetically listed malts from the 1994 edition of the "Malt Whisky Companion" by Michael Jackson and started typing and sorting...

The result of my troubles was a huge list that might come in handy in your discovery of more of those wonderful single malt scotch whiskies. You can use that nifty FIND button on your web-browser to search the list for a certain single malt you like, and you'll have an instant display of all the other available malts from that part of Scotland.
Cool, eh?

Scotland is usually divided into four main malt regions (Highlands, Lowlands, Campbeltown and Islay), but Michael Jackson division of Scotland is somewhat more rigorous. The Speyside-area in the Highlands for example, is divided further into the districts Fiddich, Dufftown, Bogie, Deveron, Lossie, Findhorn, etc. In the list I've followed most of Jackson's geographical discriminations, but not all.

Please note that some malts on the list are no longer available, some have changed considerably and a few new malts have been introduced since 1999. Especially with single barrel whiskies like a 15 years old Balvenie, the bottle purchased today might be quite different from a 15 yrs. old enjoyed two years ago.

Every now and then a new distillery is born, for example the Arran distillery who's product is rather aggressively marketed by John Devereaux Ltd. from London. Sometimes a distillery produces whisky under labels with a different name. The Loch Lomond distillery, for example, produces the "Inchmurrin" and "Old Rhosdu" whiskies. Next to the "official" versions of a specific single malt whisky, offered often (but not always) by the distillery that is mentioned on the label, there may exist versions by so-called "independent bottlers".
I've tasted some rather good independent bottlings of Lagavulin and Highland Park, marketed in Holland under the "Signatory Vintage" and "Ultimate" label. In the list, I've included the versions by independent bottlers like Cadenhead, the Scotch Malt Whisky Society and Gordon & MacPhail. The official versions of a single malt listed in the mAddendum are the ones without a specific bottler mentioned between brackets.

The [?] sign indicates that the mentioned whisky has no age statement on the corny label. The alcohol percentage of a single malt is only mentioned when it's higher than the "standard" 40 or 43%. C/S is for Cask Strength when a specific percentage isn't given. My own 1 - 100 rating scale includes malts as well as blends, so perhaps that's the reason most of my ratings are lower than Michael Jackson's. Click here for more information about my personal rating system - and the logic behind it.

This is a selection from list of all single malt whiskies rated in Michael Jackson's 'Malt Whisky Companion'.
The single malts I've tasted myself (or that are already awaiting final judgement in my single malts bar) are highlighted in hideous green; my own personal ratings are mentioned behind those of Michael Jackson.

It'll set you back no more than the price of your average middle class blend and it's a genuine treasure-trove of information about single malt whisky, covering over 800 single malts. Michael Jackson's 1-100 whisky ratings have helped me a lot in my ongoing search for the perfect single malt.
Recently, the '2000' edition of Michael Jackson's appeared, so I thought there would be no harm in publishing the single malt ratings from the previous edition on Malt Madness. But I did more than just copy the list of Michael Jackson's scores. I've taken the ratings of over 400 single malts, and sorted them geographically.

EXPIRED !

The mere fact that you're ventured this deep into the site indicates that you're a fellow malt-lover, so I guess you probably already own the 'Malt Whisky Companion' (ISBN 0-7513-0708-4) by Michael "not the pop singer" Jackson. If not, and you are in the least interested in single malts, you should run to the nearest bookshop and buy it.
