THE SIX WHISKIES EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE ON HAND It seems like every year there are dozens of articles going over the "best whiskies" in the world. We even came out with a "best whiskies we tried this year" article in our last issue. These ratings are a great insight into what whiskey critics are drinking, and what we've found to be incredible pours out of the hundreds of different whiskies we try every year. But, with the "critic" or "influencer" territory often comes a skewed perspective from us, and also makes many of our articles inaccessible to readers around the world. Many of our "best whiskey" selections are either impossible to find or can cost upwards of thousands of dollars. Either way, they aren't things someone would normally find at their mom-andpop liquor store. So, we thought that we'd focus on whiskies that are widely accessible. These are things that anyone could, and should, get on their liquor shelves if they're entertaining regularly.
