Recently, the 2018 Jim Murray's Whisky Bible prize list has been released.
The Whisky Bible, written by Jim Murray, the world's first whiskey writer, is the most authoritative whisky book in the world, and is the best guide for whisky buying. Jim Murray, a whisky master who always likes to make surprise, has brought unexpected surprises to consumers this year. We list out several brands of Whisky Bible 2018.
Smooth and relatively sweet entry for a rye, with vanilla, caramel, dried fruits, figs, preserved bananas, and slightly drying with a spicy finish that is slightly warming with a pleasant aftertaste of barrel char and vanillins in the pleasantly lingering finish. Clear gold amber liquid and the logo are telling their superiority, amber and blue are the royal colors.
A release of grain whisky from Japan's Nikka, produced mainly from corn using one of their continuous Coffey stills. Rather than the rare and limited releases they have done before, this is a larger release to further show off this key component in the Nikka family of whiskies.
Blended from more than 50 single malts (with particular emphasis on Miltonduff and Glenburgie) as well as 4 single grain whiskies. Ballantine's Finest is a smooth, satisfyingly modern blend, now picking up serious momentum in overseas markets under owners Chivas Brothers.
The finest malts and grains are sourced from all four corners of Scotland, from the Southern Lowlands to the remote and wild Orkneys, to make this premium Ballantine's 17 year old blend. Ballantine's 17 year old displays all the flavours of Scotland and today over forty single malts and four single grains are used - all carefully chosen to create a perfectly balanced, creamy character with a long finish.
