From one of the best-selling whisky writer. Jim Murray's choosen whiskies usually have a boost in sales after nominations, which it is a great thing.

But sometimes I keep asking myself if is there any other deeper connection... not that they are not great whiskies, I enjoyed most of them myself... but I always have the feeling that there is something else.

A good resource for knowing what the stuff is about anyway. Just take it with some caution.1
