Whisky expert Jim Murray has declared the Yamazaki Single Malt Sherry Cask 2013 to be the world’s best single malt Scotch in his 2015 World Whisky Bible.
It’s the first time in the book’s 12-year history that a Scottish-made Scotch didn’t make the top five.
Murray personally tasted 1,000 whiskies in compiling his data.
No information is available as to how many times Murray annoyed neighbors with bad renditions of I’m Gonna Be a.k.a. I Would Walk 500 Miles.
The Japs can have the Scoth, but leave the bourbon in Kentucky.
Here’s a toast to Old Grandad!
