Marvin Shanken, the publishing entrepreneur behind Cigar Aficionado and Wine Spectator, said he is adding the editor-in-chief and publisher title at the Whisky Advocate come April 30.

M. Shanken Communications bought the Emmaus, Pa.-based title from the husband and wife team of John Hansell and Amy Westlake in 2010, when it was still known by its original name, the Malt Advocate.
