“At the tme of coming face to face with The Macallan Fine Oak I had just tasted over 600 whiskies in two months for theJ im Murray Whisky Bible 2005 so my taste buds were probably feeling a bit sorry for themselves. Now they were teased and caressed back to life by a series of stunners, one after another hitting around the 90 mark: it had never happened so often before from the same series of new whiskies. This was need to know whisky, alright. And I had been blown away by these secret weapons of mass distinction! -Jim Murray
