WHISKY GURU SEEKS APPRENTICE - Scotch Whisky News
February 3rd, 2010
Internationally acclaimed whisky writer and author Jim Murray has today announced that he is looking for an apprentice to assist him in the production of his best selling whisky book Jim Murray’s Whisky Bible.
Working with Jim Murray at his UK HQ, the appointee will play an active role in sourcing newly released whiskies from all over the world, preparing tasting sessions, and assisting in the production of his world famous title. He/she will also play an important role in the growth of Dram Good Books, Murray’s in-house publishing company.
In offering this unique opportunity Jim Murray said “as the Bible has grown, so have the demands made upon me to produce it. That means that our research department has become a much more important part of our overall set up. This is particularly true as the international aspect of the Bible has grown driven mainly by the increase in distilleries opening up around the world.
“Our previous researcher, David Rankin, did a fantastic job but has moved on and since his departure we have taken the opportunity to assess and reposition this important function. It will be demanding, but it will also be fun and unique. For someone wishing to get into the whisky industry - and perhaps hone their writing skills - I cannot think of a better way doing so”.
The person will also play a role in developing the company’s web presence, the organization of Murray’s whisky tastings and media appearances around the world.
Given the international and truly unique nature of the role, this is not a nine to five appointment and will require some early morning or late evening work, talking with the whisky industry in far off locations.
Interested parties should contact Jim’s office manager at edna@whiskybible.com in the first instance.
