The Whisky Sites Directory

Postby aberlour » 17 Jan 2009, 21:59

Let me start to introduce myself.

I am 39 years old and I am from The Netherlands.
I started to drink whisky (Mansion House) when I was about 22.
Some years later I bought my first single malt: Aberlour
My favorite whiskies are:

Laphroaig quarter cask
Old Pulteney 12 years
Bowmore Mariner
Glen Ord

At this moment I am developing a whisky sites directory The Whisky Sites Directoryand of course I also added this forum, so maybe in the future this forum will get some hits through the link on my site.
I hope the moderator/webmaster of this forum doesn't consider this message as spam because I really need your help.

I want to ask you to tell me your favorite whisky/whiskey/bourbon site so I can add them.

Feel free to give me some feedback on the site and please let me know when I used "bad English" somewhere.

Welcome aberlour!

Don't know if this is the right place for your post but I guess it is...we will see what happens.

For your site, I like the copperplate banner on the top. I would suggest the page description under it be put in bold because it blends with the google ad too much and I almost skipped past that vital information. Im never a fan of the vertical sections because some sections scroll down a lot farther than others.

For my favourite whisky site, its this one.

Your english seems fine to me.

Thanks for linking us!

Thanks for your suggestion. I changed it and so the page description would be more prominent.
I will see what If I also can put a little "image" between the to parts to seperate them more.

Hi aberlour and welcome to the site. We have our own directory section here, so feel free to take from that whatever you need. I mostly visit whisky blogs right now and will post a list when I get home from work.

Ooh, I've got a site: www.jollytopertastings.co.uk, apologies to F. Halls. I'm trying to make a comprehensive list of whisky books. Its taking ages and only a part of the way there so be patient and there should be a handy resource eventually.

All power to you brother (sister?)
