Did you ever get an answer?
I played with some queries and came up with this:
SELECT ID, NAME, RATING FROM SINGLEMALTS ORDER BY RATING DESC LIMIT 0,1;
If you want more than one record, you can change the 1 at the end to how
many you want. If you want to list them all in that order, you can take
off the LIMIT 0,1 part. Hope this helps
