We are living in the golden era of whisky evolution with craft distilleries ageing the best artisanal brown liquid in the cask. While bourbons, ryes and American whiskies have always been part of our collection, some whiskies deserve a place of honor on our home bars.
4 Best American whiskies you must add to your bar collection
1. Marker's Mark Bourbon Whisky
Marker's Mark Bourbon Whisky
Handcrafted in small batches, Marker's Mark Bourbon Whisky is a pure and smooth creation filled with complex and sweet flavour (thanks to the corn mash). Aged in charred oak barrels, the liquor is crafted in Loretto, Kentucky distillery. The strong drink comes with 45% alcohol by volume (ABV) and is made up of corn with malted barley and a large dose of red winter wheat. Heavy on spiced honey, cut fruit and citrus peel, you’ll detect top notes of butterscotch and vanilla beans; before the dry oak spice and caramel unveils itself. Unlike most whiskies, this one has a smooth and light palette, making it a great choice for on the rocks or creating an Old-fashioned cocktail variant.
