Jim Murray's Whisky Bible 2016

I received a copy today.

I know this is one persons opinions, but he has judged Tasmanian whiskies highly

If he scores between 94 and 97.5 "Superstar whiskies that give us all a reason to live"

My Belgrove Rye scored 94.5

Other Tasmanians Lark, Sullivans Cove, Overeem and Nant, and Heartwood all had scores in this range.

Dont forget to mention Crown Royal Rye Whiskey as dram of the year. I've had it. I wasn't enthralled. How can I get a bottle of your Rye (and congrats!) ?

Crown Royal Northern Harvest Rye at 45% was the winner. Is that the one you tried? It scored 97.5 total. It scored 24.5 for Taste, my Belgrove 100% Rye also scored 24.5 for taste.

It has taken me 6 years

This "Speakeasy" section is for giving yourself a "pat on the back". It has taken me 6 years from deciding to build a distillery to getting this score.

I am sorry, it is almost impossible to send a bottle to USA. I used to post a few but recently they have been sent back as "Dangerous Goods"

I am thinking about going to the San Diego conference. Could bring some with me.

Congrats Pete!

Cant wait to try some one day and hear all about it.

Well done Pete. I've followed your story for a while and will have to pop down to Nick's wines to buy a bottle on the next payday!
