I believe some of the big brands do not send out whisky to be reviewed anymore even to people such as Jim Murray. Bad reviews seriously effect sales and the whisky brands are trying to control that.

I have noticed there are rarely any reviews of these whiskies other than from those who's business is to sell whisky. Critics seem to be getting cut out the loop these days.
