The Best Whisky in the World, According to Jim Murray

There’s no shortage of whiskey recommendations, but there aren’t that many that come from as renowned a place as Jim Murray’s Whisky Bible. Every year, Jim Murray compiles a list of his favorite international whiskeys, and his picks always end up surprising some people. Booker’s Rye 13 Year Old is his pick for best whisky in the world this year, saying it’s a “staggering example of a magnificent rye showing exactly what genius in terms of whiskey actually means.” Second place goes to Glen Grant 18 Year Old, while third is taken by William Larue Weller Bourbon. But those are just his overall top three. He also has picks in every type of whiskey you can think of, so if you’re looking for a whiskey themed activity for the next year, sip your way through this list.
