review 1: The Ideal Guide This has been described as the most comprehensive & thoroughly researched guide ever produced. Jim Murray has tasted over 2,500 Single Malt Whiskies, 240 Blended Scotches & around 260 American Whiskeys in the quest to make this the book it is. The Whisky Bible is a fantastic shortcut to discovering the world of whisky, it's a reference source for the consumer, the industry & the drinks trade, but most of all it's a fantstic guide to research how many expressions of a favourite whisky you can find, preferably with a bottle of your favourite malt.
review 2: Some might find Murray too kind a critic -- on his 100-point scale, almost none of the 3,000 or so whiskys rate less than 80, and the vast majority are 90+ -- but Murray is a hedonistic lover... more of the spirit in all its guises, not a pedantic finder of faults, and that's all to the good for those like me who are just beginning to find our ways in this wonderful water of life. His ratings are highly descriptive, effusive, sometimes seeming overboard -- until I try the particular liquor in question, at which point I realize that he's typically on the money even at his most loquacious. I'm happy, personally, that he loves Bourbon as much as he does, rating it every bit the equal of Scotch, that in fact he is as unprejudiced a whisky writer as you'll find. My edition is from 2006; I will surely be buying updated editions as long as my thirst needs slaking.... less
