Ja, het is op facebook al even in vraag gesteld, maar nog niet echt een sluitend antwoord op gekomen. Ik ben benieuwd. 't Was vreemd om op de monitor plots Johannes bij de retired MM te zien staan
Ik ben nog niet zo lang bezig met whisky, maar zijn bang for your buck heeft me veel geleerd!
Johannes van den Heuvel van de Malt Maniacs met pensioen?

Malt Maniacs
Crazy about single malt whisky
The MMs adopt a new Committee and celebrate their 15th Anniversary in Scotland.
It was 1997 when Johannes van den Heuvel, Craig Daniels and Louis Perlman created The Malt Maniacs, one of the first online communities of whisky anoraks which, over the last 15 years and under Johannes’ leadership, has grown beyond anyone’s initial belief. After all these years at the helm, Johannes has decided to call it a day and retire from his Maniacal status, although we dearly hope that his retirement may only be temporary.
It goes without saying that we wish Johannes well in his future, hopefully quieter endeavours.
So, just how do we think about replacing our leader and founder? After much soul searching, discussion and navel examining (well, not really) we have decided upon what most may consider the obvious choice; a Committee with nine willing volunteers, some ‘old’, some ‘new’ and some who were already there in 1997.
So we are pleased to announce our new MM Committee, the nine members in alphabetical order and their roles:
MM Social Media Maniac Benjamin Chen (Singapore)
MM Elder Statesman & Voice of Reason Craig Daniels (Australia)
MM Awards Co-ordinator Davin de Kergommeaux (Canada)
MM Events & Chief Diary Keeper Konstantin Grigoriadis (Greece)
MM Whisky Monitor Wizard Rich Howard (USA)
MM Website Editor Oliver Klimek (Germany)
MM E-Pistle Apostle Nabil Mailloux (Canada)
MM Master Maniac Serge Valentin (France)
MM Postmaster General Keith Wood (Germany)
Also in the MM news, our Charlie MacLean is starring in Ken Loach’s new movie The Angel’s Share that will be in competition in Cannes and Paul Dejong is back after a very short retirement from the Maniacs. Hurray!
Last but not least we are delighted to announce that June 2012 will see the largest ever real-life ‘in the flesh’ gathering of Malt Maniacs as no fewer than 26 (twenty six) MMs from all continents celebrate our “First 15 years” and look forward to the next 15. Where else could we possibly choose to do this but, you guessed it; Scotland!
Watch this space and in the meantime, Slàinte Mhath, Cheers, Santé, Skol, Prost!!!
- The MM Committee.

Na gestopt te zijn, toch nog één laatste ?
Wait... Did I say on the previous page of my liquid log that it would be the last log entry on this site?
Well, as you can see that wasn't the case after all. I've used a separate Malt Madness Blogspot Blog in 2010 and 2011, but I stopped writing regular updates about a year ago. And some other parts of my whisky life have changed as well recently - like the fact that I've retired from the Malt Maniacs whisky collective. I've received a lot of questions by e-mail, Facebook and Twitter about these changes in recent months. Unfortunately, I rarely had the time to properly explain all the reasoning and circumstances that brought about some of these changes.
I'd like to use
my 400th liquid log entry to try and compose a few coherent thoughts about my purely personal considerations and observations about my own life and the whisky world. That means that the contents of this page are probably not very interesting for the average whisky lover...
