Bill Muray famoso crítico y catador de whisky ha publicado su famosa "biblia" de nuevo. Como siempre excelentes y aveces criticados juzgamientos a diferentes whiskies del mundo que se encuentran compitiendo por ser el mejor. Este año el turno le correspondió a Ballantine´s 17 años de edad, el cuál superó a muchos de sus tradicionales adversarios incluyendo reconocidas maltas.
A continuación las declaraciones sobre el ganador:
Speaking at the publication of the Jim Murray’s Whisky Bible 2011 Jim Murray said: “Blends are seen by many as the poor relations to single malts. Ballantine’s 17proves, quite spectacularly, what many of us have known for a great many years: it isn’t. A blender has the chance to create something unique and quite beautiful by putting together many whisky styles. With Ballantine’s 17, the blender has done his job in glorious, quite majestic fashion.”
Giving the blend 97.5 points out of 100, Jim Murray describes the whisky as “one of the most beautiful, complex and stunningly structured whiskies ever created.”
