Jim Murray's 2010 Bible has over 1000 new entries, which works out as an average of around three every single day. But he does all the work for the Bible in a liver-cringing three or four months. For that alone he deserves a medal.
Musings on Millwall and Mortlach from Mr Murray this year, with more than 1000 new entries, taking the total to over 4500 tasting notes. Whisky of the Year is Ballantine's 17yo, a cracking blend that Jim's been championing for some years now.

As ever, this year's edition is bursting with over 1200 new whiskies tasted and will provoke much debate amongst whisky aficionados.
