The Macallan Sherry Oak 12 Years Old • Category: Scotch whisky • Region: Scotland • ABV: 43% The Macallan Sherry Oak 12 is one of many arrays of Sherry Oak's single malt whiskies matured in specifically selected oak casks. These screened casks provide the liquor's rich gold color, rich woody spice, and a fruity flavor as the liquid matures with time. Once filled, the maturing spirits are stored up in the chosen casks for 12 years, after which they become worthy of the Macallan expression. This brand was established in the 1820s and is one of the first few to mass-produce single malt whiskey. Further, it gives off a malt, brown sugar, Jefferson’s Ocean Aged at Sea Bourbon Jefferson's employs an uncommon aging process for their whiskey and has obtained maximum results over the years. It all began with Jefferson’s Master Blender, Trey Zoeller, in 2008 while aboard a Kentucky-native ship. Trey watched his whiskey swirl around in his glass due to the constant rocking motion of the waves. He thought about the results of bourbon barrels aging at sea from the obvious natural factors that will speed up the churning process. The combination of the extreme sea weather fluctuations with the constant rocking of the bourbon barrels increases the interaction of the liquid with the wooden barrels. So, after spending 8 years undisturbed in a secluded place on land, the barrels are loaded onto the OCEARCH vessel and left to age at the mercy of the sea for an additional 5 to 10 months! The resulting difference between this unique aging process introduces a complex drink that every whiskey lover must try out. A richer, hyper-churned, light brown sugar and caramelized bourbon are obtained from the process. It has a slight tobacco smell and an overall smooth texture that satisfies its drinker. Johnnie Walker Blue Label Ghost & Rare Whiskey • Category: Scotch whisky • Region: Scotland • ABV: 46% Johnnie Walker Blue Label Ghost & Rare can be termed the best-blended scotch out there. It is important for a whisky lover to taste some luxury whisky like this once in a while.

Further, this exceptional whisky gives a memorable sipping experience with its blend of dark chocolate, sandalwood, hazelnut, hints of dried fruit, and pepper.

Although this drink is a blend of Rye, Bourbon, and Scotch, it identifies as American because it hails from Utah. That said, this liquor provides a blend of sweet taste (from bourbon), floral, fruity spice (from Rye whiskey), and gentle smoke from peated Scotch. You can serve it neat and cold for a memorable evening or cocktails.

What is the difference between Whiskey and Whisky? This is an old-age debate you should be aware of. In general, whiskeys or whisky are varieties of distilled liquors that are produced from a fermented mash of cereal grain and stored in old oak barrels. Some of these cereal grains are grains of rye, wheat, corn, and barley malt. Hence, the name — whiskey (or whisky) is derived from the type of cereal grain used during the distilling process and the production location. Now, whiskey (with an \"e\") is any variety of distilled liquors produced in America and Ireland. Whisky (without the \"e\") is one of these distilled liquors that hails from several other countries like Canada or Japan. Equally important, there are two categories of Whiskey — straight and blended. Straight whiskeys are either not mixed with anything else or could be mixed with other whiskeys but from the same distiller and distillation period. Blended whiskeys combine various whiskey products from different distillers and distillation periods. Blended whiskeys can even have their flavor profile from fruit juice. Also, blended whiskeys generally have a milder, less pronounced taste than the characteristic straight whiskey flavor. What are the different kinds of whiskey? Whiskey and natural ice in a glass on an old wooden table. There are a bunch of whiskey bottles most whiskey lovers are familiar with. As a new whiskey drinker, knowing these options may narrow your search toward finding the best whiskey brands. For starters, American whiskey is of three main kinds. They are Bourbon whiskey, Rye whiskey, and Tennessee whiskey. Each of these whiskeys differs in taste, ingredients used for processing, and distillation process. Bourbon whiskey Bourbon has won the hearts of many whiskey drinkers because of its smokey flavor and sweet taste. Often referred to as \"American whiskey,\" Bourbon gets its smokey flavor profile from being aged in new charred oak barrels. With a mash bill of at least 51% corn, it is safe to say that Bourbon whiskey is mostly corn-based. You can enjoy it the way it is or mixed in an old-fashioned style. Tennessee whiskey Some say Tennessee whiskey is another Bourbon, but the distillers would always disagree. They both have sweet flavors, but you can make one in America, while the other is exclusive to the state of Tennessee. Another common feature of Tennessee and Bourbon whiskey is that they both have a mash bill of 51% corn. In addition, Tennessee whiskey is made through the charcoal steeping process. This process, called the Lincoln county filtration process, makes Tennessee whiskey possess a smoother texture and a refined, sweeter taste than Bourbon. So technically, Bourbon and Tennessee whiskey are almost identical, but not exactly the same. Rye whiskey Rye whiskey has a mash bill of at least 51% Rye and is known for its spicy flavor and peppery sting at every sip. Like Bourbon, this drink undergoes the same aging process in new charred oak barrels. Scotch whisky Scotch whisky is made from Malted barley, grains, and oak casks (also known as ex-bourbon barrels or ex-sherry casks). This Scotland-made whisky is arguably one of the best out there, with a flavor like that of Bourbon. Scotch whisky also has a smokey flavor from an aging process of not less than three years in oak casks. Scotch whisky is strong because it undergoes just two distillation processes. Despite numerous Scottish distilleries, there is only about 10% single malt scotch whisky in the single malt whisky market. Japanese Whisky Japanese whisky is modeled after the Scotch whisky — only smoother. It emphasizes a blending combination of whiskies from different barrels to produce a standard liquor. Japanese whisky may be drier, smokier, and even peatier than blended scotch. Irish Whiskey Unlike Scottish whisky, Irish whiskey is triple-distilled, providing a smoother spirit texture. Also, Irish whiskey is aged in wooden casks for a minimum of three years, using barley and malt as primary ingredients. Canadian Whisky As its name implies, Canadian whisky is produced in Canada and is known for its 100% Rye and grain blend. The manufacturing process involves fermenting each grain and distilling them before they mature. Next, the grains are blended to produce the liquor. Canadian liquor has a lighter and smoother texture than American liquor. You can differentiate American whiskey from others with its barrel age. The law commands American whiskeys to be aged in charred new oak barrels while others use aged barrels. How we picked the best whiskey brands The taste of whiskey is subjective — your opinion about how good a bottle tastes is probably correct, just like ours is. Thus, we looked at three other crucial factors determining how well you would enjoy sipping yours. Factors to consider searching for the best whiskey in the world We believe these key factors differentiate and help you enjoy a good whiskey. Remember to bring it with you on your next outing in one of the best coolers. Aroma and taste — A good whiskey should be able to give off a characteristic aroma when approached with the nose. Instead of an excessive alcohol smell, the smell from a whiskey bottle should have an appealing particular blend of aroma. Experts say that whiskey with an exaggerated odor of alcohol most probably is of low quality. Further, the first sip from your whiskey glass should provide a general perception of such a brand. You don't have to be an ancient whiskey lover before you can feel the particular appealing taste of a bottle. If you feel numb or anesthetized from your first sip, your mind won't be conscious enough to enjoy it. This is customary for whiskey with high alcohol integration. Price — The most expensive whiskey brands are believed to provide the best quality. Hence, if you desire delicious-sipping-whiskey moments, you may have to invest in getting a quality brand. Getting one of these may require drinking a little and enjoying your moments. This is far better than gulping glasses of cheap liquor and endangering your liver. Availability — Several top-quality whiskeys are extremely hard to find or to purchase. We have highlighted some of those that can be found online.

Chocolate-covered raisins, peat smoke, cigar lounge, licorice, chamois leather, and charred oak staves. The palate is smooth, delicate, and finely tuned with syrupy prune, raisins, plum, raspberry, strawberry, 70% dark chocolate, peppercorn, ginger, clove, and a hint of smoke. This showcases lip-smacking, intricate blending on the oldest Dewar’s available.

You may want to go slow on this one, enjoying each sip as the flavor unpacks on your palate.</p> <h3>The Macallan Sherry Oak 12 Years Old</h3> <div class="flex justify-center"><figure class="is-wp-image-block wp-block-image aligncenter is-resized"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20230131033337im_/https://bgr.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Macallan-sherry-oaks.jpg?quality=82&strip=all" alt="" width="479" height="413"></figure></div> <ul> <li>Category: Scotch whisky</li> <li>Region: Scotland</li> <li>ABV: 43%</li> </ul> <p>The Macallan Sherry Oak 12 is one of many arrays of Sherry Oak’s single malt whiskies matured in specifically selected oak casks. These screened casks provide the liquor’s rich gold color, rich woody spice, and a fruity flavor as the liquid matures with time. Once filled, the maturing spirits are stored up in the chosen casks for 12 years, after which they become worthy of the Macallan expression.</p> <p>This brand was established in the 1820s and is one of the first few to mass-produce single malt whiskey.</p> <p>Further, it gives off a malt, brown sugar, </p> <h3>Jefferson’s Ocean Aged at Sea Bourbon</h3> <div class="flex justify-center"><figure class="is-wp-image-block wp-block-image aligncenter is-resized"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20230131033337im_/https://images.surferseo.art/a87eca8f-5a2b-4ee0-abfe-00bc248c5eac.jpeg" alt="" width="562" height="434"></figure></div> <p>Jefferson’s employs an uncommon aging process for their whiskey and has obtained maximum results over the years. It all began with Jefferson’s Master Blender, Trey Zoeller, in 2008 while aboard a Kentucky-native ship.</p> <p>Trey watched his whiskey swirl around in his glass due to the constant rocking motion of the waves. He thought about the results of bourbon barrels aging at sea from the obvious natural factors that will speed up the churning process.</p> <p>The combination of the extreme sea weather fluctuations with the constant rocking of the bourbon barrels increases the interaction of the liquid with the wooden barrels. So, after spending 8 years undisturbed in a secluded place on land, the barrels are loaded onto the OCEARCH vessel and left to age at the mercy of the sea for an additional 5 to 10 months!</p> <p>The resulting difference between this unique aging process introduces a complex drink that every whiskey lover must try out. A richer, hyper-churned, light brown sugar and caramelized bourbon are obtained from the process. It has a slight tobacco smell and an overall smooth texture that satisfies its drinker.</p> <h3>Johnnie Walker Blue Label Ghost & Rare Whiskey</h3> <div class="flex justify-center"><figure class="is-wp-image-block wp-block-image aligncenter is-resized"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20230131033337im_/https://images.surferseo.art/157937d0-92ba-4a74-89cb-89300b09a655.jpeg" alt="Johnny walker, best whiskey Image credit: Johnny walker" width="327" height="353"></figure></div> <ul> <li>Category: Scotch whisky</li> <li>Region: Scotland</li> <li>ABV: 46%</li> </ul> <p>Johnnie Walker Blue Label Ghost & Rare can be termed the best-blended scotch out there.

The result of this crafty distillation process introduces a smooth scotch with a splash of fruitiness and a smoky finish.</p> <p>Further, this exceptional whisky gives a memorable sipping experience with its blend of dark chocolate, sandalwood, hazelnut, hints of dried fruit, and pepper. </p> <h3>High West Campfire Whiskey</h3> <div class="flex justify-center"><figure class="is-wp-image-block wp-block-image aligncenter is-resized"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20230131033337im_/https://images.surferseo.art/5b5d803a-8fed-44db-9503-0d50b7b4d46d.jpeg" alt="Image credit: Highwest" width="317" height="397"></figure></div> <ul> <li>Category: American whiskey</li> <li>Region: Utah, United States of America</li> <li>ABV: 46%</li> </ul> <p>High West Campfire is one of the most distinctive and delicious blended malt scotch.

Some of these cereal grains are grains of rye, wheat, corn, and barley malt.</p> <p>Hence, the name — whiskey (or whisky) is derived from the type of cereal grain used during the distilling process and the production location.</p> <p>Now, whiskey (with an “e”) is any variety of distilled liquors produced in America and Ireland.

Image source: Igor Normann/Adobe</figcaption></figure> <p>There are a bunch of whiskey bottles most whiskey lovers are familiar with. As a new whiskey drinker, knowing these options may narrow your search toward finding the best whiskey brands.</p> <p>For starters, American whiskey is of three main kinds. They are Bourbon whiskey, Rye whiskey, and Tennessee whiskey. Each of these whiskeys differs in taste, ingredients used for processing, and distillation process.</p> <h3>Bourbon whiskey</h3> <p>Bourbon has won the hearts of many whiskey drinkers because of its smokey flavor and sweet taste. Often referred to as “American whiskey,” Bourbon gets its smokey flavor profile from being aged in new charred oak barrels.</p> <p>With a mash bill of at least 51% corn, it is safe to say that Bourbon whiskey is mostly corn-based. You can enjoy it the way it is or mixed in an old-fashioned style.</p> <h3>Tennessee whiskey</h3> <p>Some say Tennessee whiskey is another Bourbon, but the distillers would always disagree. They both have sweet flavors, but you can make one in America, while the other is exclusive to the state of Tennessee. Another common feature of Tennessee and Bourbon whiskey is that they both have a mash bill of 51% corn. </p> <p>In addition, Tennessee whiskey is made through the charcoal steeping process. This process, called the Lincoln county filtration process, makes Tennessee whiskey possess a smoother texture and a refined, sweeter taste than Bourbon.</p> <p>So technically, Bourbon and Tennessee whiskey are almost identical, but not exactly the same.</p> <h3>Rye whiskey</h3> <p>Rye whiskey has a mash bill of at least 51% Rye and is known for its spicy flavor and peppery sting at every sip. Like Bourbon, this drink undergoes the same aging process in new charred oak barrels.</p> <h3>Scotch whisky</h3> <p>Scotch whisky is made from Malted barley, grains, and oak casks (also known as ex-bourbon barrels or ex-sherry casks). This Scotland-made whisky is arguably one of the best out there, with a flavor like that of Bourbon. Scotch whisky also has a smokey flavor from an aging process of not less than three years in oak casks.</p> <p>Scotch whisky is strong because it undergoes just two distillation processes. Despite numerous Scottish distilleries, there is only about 10% single malt scotch whisky in the single malt whisky market.</p> <h3>Japanese Whisky</h3> <p>Japanese whisky is modeled after the Scotch whisky — only smoother. It emphasizes a blending combination of whiskies from different barrels to produce a standard liquor. Japanese whisky may be drier, smokier, and even peatier than blended scotch.</p> <h3>Irish Whiskey</h3> <p>Unlike Scottish whisky, Irish whiskey is triple-distilled, providing a smoother spirit texture. Also, Irish whiskey is aged in wooden casks for a minimum of three years, using barley and malt as primary ingredients.</p> <h3>Canadian Whisky</h3> <p>As its name implies, Canadian whisky is produced in Canada and is known for its 100% Rye and grain blend. The manufacturing process involves fermenting each grain and distilling them before they mature. Next, the grains are blended to produce the liquor.</p> <p>Canadian liquor has a lighter and smoother texture than American liquor. </p> <p>You can differentiate American whiskey from others with its barrel age. The law commands American whiskeys to be aged in charred new oak barrels while others use aged barrels.</p> <h2>How we picked the best whiskey brands</h2> <p>The taste of whiskey is subjective — your opinion about how good a bottle tastes is probably correct, just like ours is. Thus, we looked at three other crucial factors determining how well you would enjoy sipping yours.</p> <h3>Factors to consider searching for the best whiskey in the world</h3> <p>We believe these key factors differentiate and help you enjoy a good whiskey. Remember to bring it with you on your next outing in one of the <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20230131033337/https://bgr.com/guides/the-seven-best-coolers/">best coolers</a>. </p> <p><strong>Aroma and taste</strong> — A good whiskey should be able to give off a characteristic aroma when approached with the nose. Instead of an excessive alcohol smell, the smell from a whiskey bottle should have an appealing particular blend of aroma.</p> <p>Experts say that whiskey with an exaggerated odor of alcohol most probably is of low quality.</p> <p>Further, the first sip from your whiskey glass should provide a general perception of such a brand. You don’t have to be an ancient whiskey lover before you can feel the particular appealing taste of a bottle. If you feel numb or anesthetized from your first sip, your mind won’t be conscious enough to enjoy it. This is customary for whiskey with high alcohol integration.</p> <p><strong>Price</strong> — The most expensive whiskey brands are believed to provide the best quality. Hence, if you desire delicious-sipping-whiskey moments, you may have to invest in getting a quality brand. Getting one of these may require drinking a little and enjoying your moments.
