It can be challenging to keep up with the latest trends and flavor profiles - especially when you're unsure what to buy. Here are some best bourbons of 2022.
Redwood Empire Pipe Dream Bourbon
This bourbon is made in northern California, near a group of redwood forests. The name comes from the pipe dream tree, which many people mistakenly believe to be an actual tree. The taste is rumored to be unique, but the exact recipe is a closely guarded secret.
Willett Pot Still Reserve Straight Bourbon Whiskey
The Willett distillery is a relative newcomer to the bourbon world but has quickly become one of the most respected distilleries in the whiskey business. Their Pot Still Reserve bourbon is one of their best introductions, drawing out pomegranate and citrus flavor notes with a silky finish.
Wild Turkey Rare Breed Bourbon
This bourbon is made from a special mash recipe and is aged for an extra year. The result is a sweeter bourbon with a relatively smooth finish, perfect for sipping on your favorite rocks. In addition, the Rare Breed bourbon has a unique "hide" aging process, where the bourbon is kept in barrels made from wood that used to be used for aging other types of whiskey, like rye or wine. The extra barrel adds an extra kick to the flavor of this already great whiskey.
Barrell Bourbon Century Reserve
Barrell is a relatively new distillery that has been getting much attention for its unique and innovative ideas. One is the concept of aging each barrel in the warehouse for a century. They then siphon off some (not all) of the whiskey from each barrel and mix it to create this new Century Reserve bourbon. The flavor notes are bold and unique, with hints of leather and tobacco. This is an exciting way to add extra character to your favorite bourbon.
Belle Meade Reserve
Belle Meade Reserve is a collaboration between the Belle Meade distillery and A Cut Above Custom Butcher Shop. The bourbon is made from a mash of corn, rye, wheat, and barley malt and is aged in white oak barrels. The result is an incredibly complex flavor profile perfect for sipping after dinner or using old-fashioned cocktails. In addition, the bottle has a unique design that will make it stand out among your other bottles at home.
Blanton's Gold Edition
True bourbon enthusiasts know all about Blanton's, which is consistently rated as one of the top bourbons in the world. The Gold edition is a special release with notes of creamy vanilla, pears, and freshly baked bread and was made to be paired with gourmet desserts like crème Brulee.
Booker's Bourbon
Booker's is one of the most respected distilleries in the industry, and its aged bourbon is no exception. The flavor profile is bold with strong hints of tobacco and leather, and this whiskey can be sipped on its own or used for mixed drinks like a Manhattan.
Larceny Barrel
This Kentucky-style bourbon takes us back home with a warm and spicy finish. Made by the Little River Distillery, known for their excellent craft beer and distilling, this bourbon has been bottled at 95 proof. It is well balanced between rich vanilla and spice, making it a perfect bourbon to enjoy neat or on the rocks.
Knob Creek Bourbon Reserve 19
This limited edition bourbon is the perfect holiday gift for any true whiskey fan. The flavor profile is dark and rich, with hints of dried fruit, cinnamon, and vanilla. It has a sweet taste and a distinct smoky finish that will have you begging for more.
Heaven's Door Master Blender's Edition
Heaven's Door Bourbon is aged for an entire decade in a cave in the Rocky Mountains, resulting in one of the smoothest bourbons on the market. The Master Blender's Edition is an extra unique bourbon that includes notes of chocolate and coffee with a hint of cinnamon at the end.
Bourbon's are well-known for their smooth taste, which can be a great way to go if you're looking for something that won't overpower the flavors of your food. You can even pair it with your favorite dessert. Bourbon is perfect for helping you relax after a long day at work or to unwind at the end of the week.
