THE TOP 10 WHISKIES WE TRIED THIS YEAR As another year draws to a close, we are taking a look back at all the good things we got to try this year. While we wouldn't go so far as to say this is a definitive list of the best whiskies available, we tried well over 100 different pours this year, and this is a list of the ones that really stuck with us and kept us wishing we had another pour.
1) Michter's 20 Year Bourbon Looking back on this pour, it has to absolutely be one of my favorite pours I've ever tried. The bottle will set you back $700 if you're lucky enough to find it around retail (and several thousand most places). It highlights all the beautiful flavors Michter's is known for and then cranks it up to 11. The pour is beautifully woody, but not too charred. It's balanced between a rich and dry toasted note and caramelized wood sugar. Pair that with a beautiful vanilla bean ice cream note and finished with dry wood and rich caramel butterscotch. Special thanks to Silver Dollar for making one of my dream pours happen!
