The best whiskies
The best-known American whiskey is bourbon, made mainly from corn and aged in new charred oak barrels, which give it its vanilla and caramel sweetness. There is also rye, spicier, and Tennessee whiskey, which is filtered through maple charcoal before ageing. Compare their flavour profiles to choose.
We rank the whiskies by the community’s votes (“Love it”, “Like it” or “Don’t like it”), adjusted for how many each one has: that way, two enthusiastic votes don’t jump ahead of two hundred. There are still few votes, so for now the easiest to find in Spain go first. The order never depends on what we earn.
