I’ve already selected Best Barrel Finish and Best Rye and will continue to narrow down before my livestream on December 22. This year, I also added wild card picks and have spread out my categorical tastings. But I wouldn’t rest on Old Elk or High West here both are tasty. In fact, if anything, blending shows flaws in components more times than not. Perhaps it’s because they’ve mastered this category, but I’m just not seeing the depth I thought we might from the rest. They have three in the running this year. I’ve also come to the realization that Barrell is creating a monopoly on the Blend of Straights movement. Clown from Slipknot batched this with distiller Cedar Ridge. And you know what? It’s friggin’ good.
9 Iowa Whiskey, is my Best Celebrity Whiskey. That’s why for the second year in a row, No. But I want to see them get involved and do something more than just a clever bottle design, name or hire a consultant. I love the fact celebrities want to get into whiskey. Of my categories, I was most disappointed with the celebrity whiskeys. Can this sourced finished whiskey win it all? The Best Barrel Finish, Four Gate, allowed the bourbon to shine with accents of the Cognac and Rum barrels. I also found 2020 to be an exceptional year for barrel finishes. George and Rua are all small distillers with a taster’s chance of winning it all.
MB Roland, Peerless, Spirits of French Lick, Journeyman, St. And in the year of great challenges, when their backs were against the wall, craft distillers showed up big time this year. My 2020 American Whiskey of the Year contenders vary from the rare and hard-to-find to the exceptional everyday bourbons.
