How many editions of the Whiskey Bible?

[GreggB]

The only review of Old Overholt I see in the Whisky Bible 2007 is (on page 301) for the Old Overholt 4 yr old straight rye. Rating of 86, with an interesting statement: "used to be so much more in your face and full of character". Maybe he compared it to the vintage one.

Does anyone know if there will be a sixth editon, presumably entitled "Whisky Bible 2009" ?

It seems Mr Murray has signed on with a new distributor recently, so it seems like there should be one on the way.

I ordered my 2009 edition over the weekend.

I have the 2007 and 2008. If you are looking for scotch reviews, I concur with many of his choices. For bourbon he tends to despise the over-aged stuff (15+) and loves Stagg. His Pappy ratings are bizarre to me especially the 20 year. I do not concur with many of his bourbon reviews. All in all, a nice guide. I try to steer away from his scores and focus on his notes.

My most recent Murray book is from '97 (reprinted 2000)...think it's time for a new one?
