What's the chances of it being a NAS whisky.

I don't know about Jims whisky of the year my vote goes to Ardbeg Perpetuum

I will be unimpressed if it goes to another US or Japanese whisky if it does Jim can keep next years edition as I wont be buying it..

As we seem to be at the end of the supply chain here in Canada I would guess this years winner hasn't yet reached our shores yet.

I may be like you Samson, I consider Jims naming of US or Japanese whiskies as the best as nothing more than a headline grabbing marketing gimmick to sell books. Having said that I do rate his book highly as he actually rates whiskies which no other book or whisky writer does. I should also mention that William who gives us this platform to express our own personal views also rates whiskies and his ratings I would very much agree with.

Scotch single grain, probably an old Cambus.

I'd vote for the 50yo Sovereign I had earlier in the year Laughing

I haven't had the pleasure of all the whiskies Jim Murray gets to taste but one which impressed me is Glengoyne 25 year old
