Today is International Whiskey Day. Maybe you’d like to celebrate by pouring yourself a glass of some fine alcohol and just relaxing as you listen to WDHA. So, I present to you a list of 5 terrific whiskeys, in no particular order. Maybe you’ll find your next favorite one here!
- FOUR ROSES SINGLE BARRELL: It’s got a complex flavor revealed through a simple process. It tastes delicious when you drink it by itself or is really perfect to add to a mixed drink recipe. Cheers!
- WEST CORK 8-YEAR SINGLE MALT: Looking for a good Irish whiskey? This one is smooth and well-balanced. You can taste the dried apple and honey leading to a baking-spice finish. Not bad….not bad at all!
- KNOB CREEK 12-YEAR-OLD BOURBON: This one could be considered a bit pricey. It’s got a balanced sweet spot. With 50% ABV. Typically coming in at around $70 a bottle, it rivals those not only in the same price range but also those that are more expensive.
- FREY RANCH STRAIGHT RYE WHISKEY: This is from Nevada’s Frey Ranch Distillery. They grow all of the winter cereal used in this 100 percent rye whiskey, and it’s worth it because the taste is just amazing!
- Henry Mckenna Single Barrel 10-Year: This whiskey won “Best in Show” at the 2019 San Francisco World Spirits Competition, a very high honor! For a whiskey this good, it’s not exorbitantly priced, which is nice. And it’s great for sipping on International Whiskey Day!
No matter what you go with, enjoy your drink and sip it at a nice moderate pace. You want to enjoy that bottle you spent money on. And of course, remember to drink responsibly!!!
