A cada
ano são esperados os grandes vencedores na Bíblia do Whisky de Jim
Murray. No ano passado, Jim escolheu o Yamazaki Sherry Cask 2013 como
Whisky do Ano. Teve um efeito surpreendente sobre a demanda por esta
garrafa e impulsionou fortunas para todas as categorias do whisky
japonês da noite para o dia.
O
vencedor deste ano, pela primeira vez, é do Canadá: Crown Royal
Northern Harvest Rye. Jim atribuiu 97.5pts/100 e comentou: "o
centeio, o mais eloquente dos grãos, não apenas transformou-se para
encantar e fascinar, mas também para nos levar através de uma
jornada que atinge um novo patamar de beleza e complexidade. Dizer
que esta é uma obra-prima é apenas fazer justiça."
CROWN ROYAL NORTHERN HARVEST RYE, 45%
Notas de Degustação:
Nariz: especiarias, cereais e
carvalho.
Paladar: suave nota de carvalho,
caramelo rico, baunilha temperada, desenvolvendo notas macias e
apimentadas.
Final: suave e cremoso.
Jim aumentou o número de whiskies
premiados para cinco, em oposição ao que vinha sendo feito, a
escolha normal de três, acompanhado por sua escolha de Single Cask
do ano. Aqui estão os vencedores:
