These Are the 20 Best Whiskeys of 2017, Ranked

Find out which brown booze reigns supreme.

Every year, the Whiskey Advocate Buying Guide‘s reviewers sip hundreds of samples of hooch and produce a comprehensive list of the very best bourbons, scotches, ryes, single-malts, blends and other top whiskeys on the market. 

They take into consideration that many of the highest rated are often from ultra-rare limited releases, so the ones that make the top 20 must strike a balance between quality, value and availability. 

Ranging in price from $60 to $160, every bottle below is affordable, obtainable and, most importantly, damn delicious. Cheers!
