Dit zijn de 20 beste whisky’s van 2017

Elk jaar nippen de reviewers van de Whisky Advocate Buying Guide honderden alcoholische versnaperingen waarna ze een uitgebreide lijst produceren van de allerbeste bourbon’s, scotches, rye’s, single-malts, blends en andere topwhisky’s.

De fijnproevers houden er rekening mee dat veel van de hoogst beoordeelde merken vaak afkomstig zijn van ultra-zeldzame gelimiteerde releases. Daarom moeten degenen die de top 20 halen, een balans zijn tussen kwaliteit, waarde en beschikbaarheid. Hierdoor bestaat de lijst niet alleen maar uit limited edition flessen.

Door een prijsrange tussen de €50 en €135, is elke fles in het rijtje met gedistilleerde betaalbaar, verkrijgbaar en belangrijker nog: verdomd lekker. Cheers!

12. Rebel Yell 10 jaar oud – € 48,42

Rebel Yell Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Single Barrel Aged 10 Years. Whenever I hear the words "Rebel Yell" I think of Billy Idol and my college days. We, of Generation Jones, would use this as our silent protest anthem; for you see; we Joneses never protested out loud and never even got our own generation name until 40 years had passed by our generation… "Rebel Yell" never makes me think of Bourbon, and it was introduced before my dad was even born! Yet here I am ready to yell! NOSE: Vanilla with hints of blood oranges and Rainer cherries. Subtle, yet delightfully sweet as honey. PALETTE: Holding at the tip of the tongue – the charred oak dominates over vanilla with no fruit presence. The oak dominance perhaps resulting from its 10 years of age. But that age also provides a wonderful smokiness intertwining with the rye spice that includes cloves and ginger. I adore the smoke of a peaty single malt, and the smoke here draws me in. FINISH: The smokey-spice lingers subtly as my mouth dries quickly. The bottle says 50% ABV, and I feel no heat; dangerous. CONCLUSION: It's not a complex, rich bourbon that I prefer, rather it is simple and thin; not an immediate winner… but, the smoke, ahhh… There will be more nights of dramming until I reach a forever conclusion for this bourbon. In the meantime, sit back, have a dram of whatever you enjoy, and listen to Billy Idol with me!!!

11. Little Book “The Easy” – € 59,50

Best way to enjoy Jim Beam's #LittleBook ? Deconstruct it with the man behind it all, Freddie Noe @beamgeneration8! ⠀ ⠀ We had the privilege of joining Freddie at @Bourbon_DC last week while he walked us through his whiskey creation. He combined a 4yr KY Straight Bourbon, a 13yr Corn Whiskey, 6yr 100% Malt Whiskey, and a 6 year-old high rye whiskey to create Little Book – an homage to his grandfather, Booker Noe. ⠀ ⠀ It was a fascinating opportunity to hear from the 8th generation of a distilling family! ⠀ . . . . . #bourbon #whiskey #whisky #beam #family #grandson #distillers #distillery #newstuff #drinks #drinking #bar #barlife #bartender #mixology #mixologist #malt #singlemalt #scotch #jackdaniels #macallan #japanesewhisky #booze #cheers #slainte #imbibe #cocktail #happyhour #tuesdayvibes

5. Rampur Select – € 58,95

Indian Single Malt wins Top 5 Whisky Of The Year by Whisky Advocate! Well deserved as I was amazed by it when I tried it for the 1st time in 2016! ?. . #Repost @getahigh ・・・ Rampur Distillery was the original name for Radico Khaitan, India's fourth largest spirits company. It has been making whisky for more than half a century, and started producing malted barley for its blends in 1990, but only launched its first single malt for export in 2016. This is a creamy and malty whisky with notes of vanilla, apricot and apple. #rampursinglemalt #whiskey #getahigh #getahighpick #whisky #singlemalt #singlemaltwhisky #rampur

2. Glenmorangie Astar 2017 Release – € 89,95

If you've been following @Whisketeer for a while, you probably know that I'm a HUGE fan of #Glenmorangie. One of my all time favorites from them is #Astar. One of the biggest reason I love it is because it is #caskstrength and I'm all about that extra horse power to really bring through the flavors. This was discontinued a few years back but as of 2017 it is back on sale and I am so stoked to grab this up when it finally makes its way to Oregon! Happy #Friday everyone! Hope you have a killer day to button up your week. ?
