An international collective of
thirty-one malt whisky enthusiasts, the
Malt Maniacs have been enjoying and
discussing the pleasures of single malt
whisky with whisky lovers worldwide for
the last sixteen years.
This year, ten strictly amateur judges
from the Malt Maniacs collective tasted,
nosed, sampled and re-sampled all the
entries.
Sales Director Alistair Walker said:
"2013 has been an exceptional year for
the company. As well as taking over
Glenglassaugh and launching a number of
new expressions, both there and from
GlenDronach and BenRiach, we have won
numerous awards at the International
Wine and Spirits Competition and at the
Scottish Field Whisky Challenge.
"The Malt Maniacs awards are important
to us because they’re given by
passionate and independent-minded whisky
enthusiasts who really know their malts.
The awards reflect both the
extraordinary skill of our people in our
three distilleries and the importance we
place on our wood management programme.
"I’m especially pleased that the
BenRiach 10 year old Curiositas is the
Best Peated malt in the Daily Drams
category. It’s an absolutely phenomenal
whisky and we’re delighted it has been
recognised as such by Malt Maniacs."
