“World Whisky Awards for 2010″

[Lutfisk]

Som jag förstått betygsätter han "balansen" i whiskyn allra högst.

Lycka till, jag är inte avundsjuk, det blir ett hårt jobb

Han bedömmer väl inom whiskyns "kategori", där han själv hittar på kategorierna.. Dvs så kan man ge Mackmyra ~97pts eftersom den jämförs mot andra svenska whiskyn i 3årsklassen. Tämligen märkligt if you ask me, men absolut inget unikt.

mvh, Robert

Om Supernovan vore det bästa man kunnat dricka det här året hade jag haft andra intressen.....det är lite kul med sådana här listor, men inget man ska ta på allvar...herr M borde ta det mer varligt, jag tycker hans clownäsa växer för varje år.

Håller med! Blir ju lite svårt att sätta betyg på en whisky som man tar blind då.

"Ere gott så ere gott" för att citera någon på Clydesdale. Men är det inte gott eller bra kan man ju inte trycka dit ~97 poäng bara för det inte finns så mycket att jämföra med.

Jag vill iallafall ta mina poäng som jag satt en gång i tiden och kunna jämföra dem med varandra oavsett om det var en svensk, japansk eller skotts whisky.

Om ni någonsin träffat "myten" så tänk Hassans sketch "Champo mot fett hår".

Ett urklipp ur bloggen:

- Er, it’s Jim’s book. He can write whatever he likes and he can give his gongs to whichever whisky he likes.

- Is it really surprising that a professional whisky writer has done consultancy for a big whisky company? The man has to make a living. Believe it or not, there’s not a great deal of money in printed media unless you’re Dan Brown or J.K. Rowling.

- Should Jim perhaps exclude all whiskies that he has any prior connection with from the Bible? It might be quite a thin book if he did.

- No-one is putting a gun to anyone’s head and forcing them to read Jim Murray’s Whisky Bible. Moreover, those people who do read it are not morally obliged only to drink those whiskies awarded 90 points or more and can make up their own minds.

- A lot of the people who do buy and read the Bible do so more for the OTT comments, subtle and not-so-subtle digs and lascivious boasting about his pretty young ladyfriend than the actual ratings.

- Many of these readers also have brains of their own, know how their palates compare to Jim’s and adjust the scores accordingly.

- Despite the title, the Whisky Bible is, at the end of the day, a guide. It’s not actually Gospel.

- If you don’t like it, you are free not to buy it and equally free not to pay any attention to it at all.
