Jim Murray's Whisky Bible 2021

2021 marks the 18th edition of Jim Murray's world-famous Whisky Bible. The 2021 World Whisky of the Year is Alberta Premium Cask Strength Rye. Second place goes to a regular high scorer - George T.Stagg Jr Barrel Proof (64.2%), while the third place goes to India, with Paul John's 'Mithuna'.

Murray describes the winner as “... a truly world-class whisky from possibly the world’s most underrated distillery. How can something be so immense yet equally delicate? For any whisky lover on the planet looking for huge but nearly perfectly balanced experience, then here you go. And with rye at its most rampantly beautiful, this is something to truly worship.”

The 2021 Bible includes 1,252 new entries.
