Subject: Jim Murray’s Whisky Bible Awards 4 Liquid Gold Ratings to Coburns on Debut

In an unprecedented event, Coburns has achieved a remarkable feat by being awarded four Liquid Gold ratings on debut in Jim Murray’s Whisky Bible 2024.

The Significance of Liquid Gold

The Liquid Gold award is a prestigious accolade in the whisky world, bestowed upon whiskies that reach the pinnacle of quality as assessed by renowned whisky critic Jim Murray.

A Liquid Gold ranking signifies a score of 94 points or higher out of 100 in the Whisky Bible, indicating a superior whisky of world-class caliber.

This distinction is highly coveted and recognised by connoisseurs and investors alike, marking the recipient as an outstanding spirit with exceptional taste and character.

Coburns’ Mythical Gods Quartet

Four of Coburns’ single barrel bottlings, each inspired by mythological figures, have been honoured with this prestigious award. We would like to share with you Jim Murray’s opinion on each of them:

Calliope

59.15% ABV

Jim’s Notes: The Calliope is linked with poetry as, so far, the Whisky is speaking to me far more beautifully and romantically than any other in this set.

She was also a pretty famous muse, too. For a start, we are dealing with relatively spot on distillate where barely an atom of feint can be found and a wine cask which offers heathy honey to accompany the redcurrent tart. There is also a unique half peppery – half gingery spiciness in play which stirs up the tastebuds further.

A grandiloquent offering at times, it is multi-layering which offers the real poetry and elegance.

This can be my muse anytime.
94 points

Cybele

55.1% ABV

Jim’s Notes: As Cybele was getting on a bit in real immortality, I was expecting this to be caked in oak. And as it happens, I wasn’t to be disappointed as tannin plays a key role in both the nose and finish. And it also acts as the anchor for the fruits to fire into orbit on delivery. That under-ripe gooseberry melding with the blackcurrant tart really is a brilliant signature while the mix of thin golden syrup and molasses really does special things as we lead into that oaky finale.

A beautifully made and matured whisky which offers delicious entertainment all the way.
94 points

Perseus

55.27% ABV

Jim’s Notes: Named after my Parrot, Perseus. Better known to all as Percy. Percy, being a Myers, is resplendent in turquoise, green, yellow, brown and grey.

This (presumably) Port pink tinge in the glass doesn’t enter into things. Tannins tumble from the glass, giving this big weight from the very start while fruit – a kind of cross between pear and grape – only plays around the edges.

Probably the most complete delivery and follow through of the entire range thanks to the stunning harmony between the fruit, spices, big tannins and background barley sugar.

A very pretty boy.
94.5 points

Zeus

51.09% ABV

Jim’s Notes: Somewhat perverse that the second weakest of all the whiskies in this set should be Zeus, the top honcho of the Gods.

If you are expecting fire and brimstone to be hurled at you, forget it. This malt is singularly about elegance and complexity. And if that was the plan, then they have succeeded.

Rather than this god being chiselled and hewn into a ceremonial statue, this is a tapestry of malt, the fruit is at its sharpest and most precise, the background barley sugar soothing, the spices creating rhythm and depth.

Complex and satisfying, the fruit piquant and zesty. this really is, fittingly, Coburns’ god of the gods
