Good news for U.S. Jim Murray Fans

One of the most frequently asked questions I've getting lately from US-based whisky drinkers is "When is the 2006 Whisky Bible being released???"

Back on November 24th, I reported that Jim Murray had expected the Bibles to available for sale by early December. However, by late January, there were no still books to be found anywhere in the US!

The year has been busy for Jim and it's only January - for the first part of the year he was fighting a throat infection, then he had to isolate himself to catch up on work - the last few weeks were spent on a 10-day tasting and publicity tour through Canada. And just got back to the UK this weekend.

But he isn't home for a rest break, according to this email I received this morning:

Doing all I can to keep on top of news and developments in the industry (worldwide) as well as prepare for trips I have between now and April to Denmark, India, USA, Brazil and Greece. The days are simple too short!

But what about those 2006 Whisky Bibles?

OK, the Bibles are now in the USA. They arrived just after Christmas following a screw up beyond my control regarding transportation. I am busy getting copies shipped around the States: last week I sold several thousand throughout Canada. Kevin, if you know stores or individuals who need copies, let me know and I get them sent out immediately.

I still haven't seen them on Amazon- but you can now order one from Malt Advocate. You may also be able to get your local book store to secure a copy.

If I get enough interest, I'll ask Jim to ship me a few autographed copies and I'll get them up on the Doceon Press site pretty quickly.
