Description:

This is the world’s most influential book on whisky. Thanks to industry guru Jim Murray and his internationally acclaimed annual Whisky Bible, the Japanese are now running out of their own single malt and people have fought in Toronto liquor stores to grab the last bottle of his World Whisky of the Year. Rye, Irish Pot Still and Bourbon have all seen a massive resurgence in recent years not least thanks to the visionary campaigning of the world’s first-ever full time professional whisky writer.

Jim Murray has tasted nearly 20,000 different whiskies for the Whisky Bible since it first hit the shelves in 2003.

For this 2019 edition Mr Murray reflects on another 1,263. The 4,700 whiskies included in this 2019 edition range from Scottish Single malts to Australian; from Canadian to Austrian. The whiskies from over 30 different countries are included. And evaluated in his forthright, honest, amusing, fiercely independent and non-pretentious style.

I’ve been buying the bible

I’ve been buying the bible for at least 10 years. It’s not the whisky, it’s not the reviews, it’s the side-splitting humours observations and Jim’s literary style and language!!! Actually, I also like the bravery Jim has to recommend outside the accepted norms, like Johnny Black and Balentines. Usually frowned on by so-called experts.

Have bought the Bible every year since 2007. Jim Murray is the foremost authority on whisky and his reviews are entertaining as well as informative. Can’t think of buying whisky without consulting it!

Having visited distilleries in Scotland

Having visited distilleries in Scotland and Ireland books on the history have made the enjoyment of Whisky greater. The Movie ‘The Angels Share’ made Jim’s books come to life.

Always enjoy the Bible. I was lucky this year, having purchased three bottles of Alberta Premium Cask Strength about a week before the 2021 edition came out!

We might need to get

We might need to get another bookshelf. This is my husband’s ‘go to’ book for any whisky information. The reviews are often amusing, and are referred to at the tastings he both runs and attends.
