Please note that the list is by no means complete - and that's not what it aims to be either.
I just don't it's very useful to refer to sites that haven't been updated in two years.
The links have been last reviewed on 01/02/2005.

Personal favourite whisky websites |

Hehehe ;-) Obviously, the sub-site of our international collective is a favourite.
Serge Valentin's website; Malt Maniacs 'Dependance' and the Brora Barnum.
Musings by Alex Kraaijeveld. One of the most comprehensive sites on the web.
Huge website with a scottish motif. Make sure to turn your speakers down!
Very active mailinglist. Unusual interface but an excellent source of information.
A recent discovery. Excellent information about the Scottish distilleries.
The friendly hosts of Malt Madness. Good site; a lot of interesting stuff.
An overload of information, but they didn't waste a lot of time on webdesign.

Attractive design, but the site is a major disaster if you don't like 'cookies'.
A site with a personality of it's own. Not a lot of actual information, though.
A beautiful site with not too much content. Watch out: tricky navigation.
Basic site with information about the range, the distilley and the visitor centre.
The distillery was purchased by Gordon & MacPahil and re-opened in 1998.
The revitalised distillery has a revitalised website. Purplest site on the web?
Company site. Great design, but like most official site the content is pretty lame.
The new whisky is great, but I don't care too much for the official website.
A very attractive site - but why did they make it so difficult to enter?
Since Mr. Symington bought Edradour, it's Scotland's smallest independent distillery.
Basic website with a little information about history, the range, distributors, etc.
The site has lots of usefull information, but the navigation is pretty confusing.
Another generic site - focused much more on marketing than on whisky.
Warning! Absolutely and utterly useless if you don't accept hostile cookies.
Now here's a very pretty site - and once again the navigation is utter crap!
Just like most other distillery sites, it looks good but offers little information.
Nicely designed website in the style of the official bottlings. Good work.
Decent enough, but why does every distillery site looks just like the next one?
I'm not too crazy about the malt, but the site has some truly original offerings.
One of Scotland's latest distilleries (or rather projects) already has a website.
Now here's a site with a style of it's own. Also check out 'friends of Laphroaig'.
One of the very best 'official distillery sites - Excellent design and information.
An extensive site with information about the distillery, the range, etc.
Distillery annex hypermarket. Mostly 'under construction'.
Here are a few 'foreign' distilleries;
Ireland's only independent distillery produces numerous brands.
At 'Brennerei Zentrum Bauernhof' in Switzerland they do actually make whisky!

A nice, tightly designed website with just the bare essentials.
Unfortunately, the website seems to be down most of the time.
Scotland's oldest bottler, by their own admission. Little info on the site.
Company in Brittany (France) that bottles their own whiskies.
Flashy site - if you like that kind of stuff. It's quite funny, though.
A butt-ugly website, but you can find all you need there.
Not much more than a price list with a few pictures.
Well, I'm not sure if two pages can be called a website...
Tight design, but the 'news' is from 2000. Hardly fresh, eh?
This site tends to crash my browser - visit at your own risk.
Very clean website with only the most basic data.
Bad job. One of the worst 'commercial' sites I've come accross.
Basic website about company and brands. Very little info.
It's about 'single malts Scotch whisky', apparently. Fresh industry news.
Main website of Fabio Rossi's Italian independent bottling company.

My favourite liquorist in Amsterdam - until the prices went up...
The Whisky Exchange; mail orders by Sukhinder Singh.
On-line shop of 'The Vintage House' in Soho, London. Great store!
Mike & Cathy Drury's store in Tomintoul, Scotland. Nice atmosphere.
A site with a 'groovy' home page ;-) Check out the Scotch Whisky Review!
Keir Sword's site; shops located in Edinburgh and London.
Excellent collection. Good website, but it really helps to understand some French.
A modest collection, but the prices are very friendly indeed. Located in Luxembourg.
Giorgio d"Ambrosio's whisky shop / bar / trattoria / treasure cave.

Highly original website and magazine by Johanna from Canada.
On-line edition of the magazine with lots of good stuff. An excellent read!
Well, strictly speaking it's no 'whisky publication - but it's very funny.
Generic site with news, notes from Michael Jackson's 3d Edition, etc.
By Jean-Marie Putz. An overwhelming amount of whisky info. Multi-lingual!
By Charles Shields. Great site with good writing and photo's.
By F. Paul Pacault. Samples whisky, but other wines & spirits too.
Info on a lot of distilleries, nice design.
Official site of the SWA. Great Design! Some information & news.
Reviews on liquors and liqueurs, including whisky.
Useful for keeping up with the whisky news - but not updated for some time.
