The Liquid Blog contains all my log entries from January 2005 onwards. You can always find the latest log entries on the main page of Malt Madness. This 'archive' page contains the second half of my old 'liquid log' - click here for links to the first 100 entries.
 

This section of Malt Madness contains:

This is an 'orphan' page - sort of superfluous after
the reconstruction of the Malt Maniacs website in
2007, but kept alive for mainly 'technical' reasons.
 
This page features links to the 100 entries in the
second half of my Liquid Log, covering the years
2002, 2003 and 2004. At the end of these three
years I had sampled and scored over 1000 malts.
 
My dramming increased exponentially after that;
in the next two years I sampled & scored another
1000 whiskies and wrote 100 more log entries in
my Liquid Blog. Then, during the next phase of my
malt mission, I started writing in my Scrapbook.

You can surf around the Log & Blog - but some 'outside' links will not work.

Entries 100 to 199
Glen Moray malt whisky

The more different whiskies you try, the more you learn - and the
more new things you discover that you'll want to learn more about.
So, I expect to experience many more 'amazing discoveries' in the
future. If you are a relative novice and this log has inspired you to
try a few whiskies for yourself, keep in mind that an older or more
expensive whisky isn't necessarily a BETTER whisky.
 
The economies of the whisky world set the 'minimum' price for a
bottle of blended whisky at 10 Euro's, in which case you're paying
mostly for the alcohol inside the bottle. As the prices of bottles go
up, a higher percentage of those prices is determined by the 'social'
values of the whisky - i.e. marketing and promotion costs. Keep that
in mind before your whisky inspiration takes control of your wallet...
