The best whiskies
Kentucky is the home of bourbon: most of the world’s bourbon comes from here, thanks to its corn, its limestone water and hot summers that speed up maturation in new oak barrels. Rye is made here too, drier and spicier. Their flavour profiles tell you which are sweeter, spicier or more powerful.
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.
