Whisky-rating.com Relaunches Site as Dramming.com – Scotch Whisky News
Whisky-rating.com Relaunches Site as Dramming.com
About a year ago a new site entered the whisky blogosphere: www.whisky-rating.com, dedicated to publish ratings and tasting notes for as many whiskies as possible. But apart from that it also was a regular whisky blog covering all aspects of the water of life from barley to marketing.
Why the name change?
Publishing ratings and tasting notes for whisky was the motivation for starting my blog, hence the name Whisky Rating. But over the months I recognised that this name only reflects part of what I am doing with my blog. In addition to that I have some ideas to broaden the scope of the site even more. So I thought it would be better to find a name for the site that encompasses everything you can imagine about whisky.
Dramming – Everything Whisky – The new name and motto for my blog is the perfect headline for a site that is devoted to bring you the best possible information about whisky.
Why a complete relaunch?
During the last year of blogging I had many ideas to improve the look and the user friendliness of my site, When the idea of changing the name of my blog was born, I decided that this was a perfect opportunity to do all changes together instead of turning the blog into a construction site for months.
What’s Old, What’s New?
All content of the old site has been transferred to dramming.com. You will find all my blog articles as well as all tasting notes and ratings that I have published so far.
The layout of the site is entirely new. Instead of the classic chronological list of blog entries, the front page presents a magazine-like overview about the most recent postings in all categories.
An exciting addition to the site is the new distillery section that is accessible through the top navigation menu. Grouped by the classic whisky regions, each distillery page consists of a short fact sheet and an automatically aggregated list of tasting notes for this distillery as well as mentions in the blog articles. (Please note that there is a lot of work involved with this, so it will take a while until all distillery pages will be available). This allows you to see everything that’s on the site for a given distillery with just one click.
See you on
