In this episode I share my recommendations and highlights from the whiskey world for the year 2024. Discussing the growing trend of creating top drink lists and worst drink lists, expressing my dislike for these types of rankings. Instead, I offer suggestions and brands to watch out for in the coming year.
I recommend attending whiskey events and meetups to broaden one's palate and understanding of the marketplace. I also mention the Kentucky Bourbon Festival as a must-visit event in September 2024. There are also subscription services to try a variety of selected whiskeys from different brands.
Individual taste preferences reign supreme and I encourage listeners to explore different brands and offerings. I caution against getting caught up in age statements, non-distilling producers, and craft labels, focusing instead on whether you personally enjoy the whiskey.
I then share my own tasting experiences from 2023, categorizing the whiskeys based on their scores in different categories. I highlight brands that stood out in each category, including Frank August, Barrel, Wilderness Trail, Old Line Spirits, New Riff, and more.
I also discusses the divisive nature of Amburana finishes and recommend paying attention to brands like Barrell Craft Spirits, Dark Arts, and Fortuna. I briefly mention the Elijah Craig barrel proof releases and Booker's releases as must-try whiskeys for bourbon enthusiasts.
Last but certainly not least the rise of American single malts and recommending paying attention to brands like Old Line Spirits and New Riff. They also mention the success of smoked whiskeys and recommend trying offerings from Spirits of French Lick and Santa Fe Spirits.
