〈得分表：酒款得分品飲總表pdf〉
2012 Is no exception as we hold our 10th edition of MMA and it is with great pleasure we now present to you the results of our labours over the last two months as 10 strictly amateur judges from our collective have tasted, nosed, sampled and re-sampled all the entries and submitted their final scores.2012年沒有意外的我們舉辦第10屆MMA，而且現在非常滿意的發表結果；在過去兩個月內由10個嚴格的評審一起從品飲、聞香，一而再地嘗試所有酒品，然後呈遞最後的分數。
The Malt Maniacs Awards is a competition with two facets; firstly there are the awards themselves where we categorise all entries into three price ranges;麥芽狂人獎(MMA)的競爭區分兩個面向，首先，我們將所有參賽酒款分成三個範圍
Daily Drams are bottles with a typical price no higher than €50
一、日常品飲，價格不超過50英鎊〈台幣2,350以內〉。
Premium whiskies are bottles in the range from €51 to €150
二、高價威士忌，價格在51~150英鎊之間〈台幣2,350~7,050〉。
Ultra Premium whiskies have a typical price greater than €150
三、超高級威士忌，價格超過150英鎊〈台幣7,050以上〉。
Then, within each category we offer 5 separate awards Supreme winner, Best sherried whisky, Best peated whisky, Best ‘natural’ cask(s) and finally, a Thumbs Up award for the whisky we believe deserves a special mention. It’s also worth noting that no single bottling may win more than one award.接著，在每個範圍內我們設立五個獎項給至高無上的優勝者是「至高無上獎」、「最佳雪莉威士忌」、「最佳泥煤威士忌」、「最佳自然威士忌」，與最後一項「大拇指(讚)獎」給我們認為應特別受賞的威士忌。值得注意的是，一瓶威士忌不能獲得超過一個獎項。
