And 2020’s Best Whiskey in the World Is……

 

If your weekend plans include some whiskey, read up.

The newest version of the Whiskey Bible is out and our friends to the north get the top spot — again — for the coveted World Whiskey Of The Year.

Canada is the winner, taking the crown for its Alberta Premium Cask Strength Rye.

Take a listen to this section from writer Paul Murray on why the winner was chosen:

“…a succulence to the oils, balanced perfectly by ulmo and manuka honeys ensure for the most chewable Canadian mouthful possibly ever….and yet this is constantly salivating, from the very first nanosecond…Truly world-class whiskey from possibly the world’s most underrated distillery. How can something be so immense yet equally delicate? For any whiskey lover on the planet looking for huge but nearly perfectly balanced experience, then here you go. And with rye at its most rampantly beautiful, this is something to truly worship.”

Dang, bro! Need a cigarette after that?!
