Wanna hear a secret?
Some of the world's most hyped whiskies are produced by ginormous companies in massive distilleries, but in such small quantities that demand and prices skyrocket.
And
While some of these trophy bottles are truly spectacular, many receive the same or even lower scores from critics than the whiskies we have right here on or shelves.
So skip the trophy bottles and grab a whiskey that's made for drinking.
Whiskey Advocate Top 20 of 2023
"Fresh and crisp on the nose, this blend of 4 to 6 year old ryes is minty and herbaceous. Pine, thyme, and other sweet herbs rest atop fruit-forward sweetness. The palate dials back the herbal character and introduces white pepper, caramel apple, and honey. While the whiskey shines throughout, the finish is the brightest star: long and with a heavy dose of apples and cinnamon, hibiscus tea, and tingling pepper."
