#6 - As one of the most exclusive whiskeys ever produced in Ireland, Midleton Very Rare is something very rare indeed. Matured in American oak barrels and bottled at 80-proof, this whiskey is made available in very limited quantities - only a handful of casks are deemed good enough after being personally selected by the Master Distiller, Brian Nation each year. Very collectible, each bottle is individually numbered and bears the signature of the Master Distiller, Brian Nation, as a guarantee of its exceptional quality.

#1 - Bottled in bond. Smooth 100 Proof. The new permanent fixture in Jack Daniel's award-winning collection. Jack Daniel's Bonded Tennessee Whiskey is an outstanding bottled-in-bond sour-mash whiskey; and another fine expression that adds depth to the critically acclaimed distiller's range. Distilled in one season, matured for over four years at a single facility, and clocking in at 100 proof - Jack Daniel's Bonded is a statement of patience and quality excellence, brimming with layers of caramel, rich oak and subtle spice, culminating in one of the most well-rounded, flavorsome Tennessee whiskeys produced by JD.

#2 - Redbreast Kentucky Oak Edition Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey is the first release in Redbreast’s highly-anticipated American Oak series. Exclusive to the US market, the American Oak collection celebrates the rich tones and sublime flavoring influences of American wood and whiskey. Triple distilled in copper pot stills, Redbreast Kentucky Oak Edition is first matured in American oak bourbon barrels and Oloroso sherry butts before being finished for 3-7 months in expertly selected air-dried PEFC certified American Oak white oak casks from the Taylor Family’s Elk Cave farm. Composed of a mash bill containing 100% malted and unmalted barley, this NAS Irish whiskey is bottled at 101 proof and was released in limited quantities from a total of 63 hand-picked casks.

#3 - Barrell Vantage is a triumphant expression of cask strength excellence, a blend of straight bourbon whiskeys finished in Mizunara, French and American Oak, bottled at 114.44-proof. Barrell continues to push the boundaries of conventional whiskey-making, and the Vantage is like no other, with the complex cask finishing process imparting a depth and complexity that puts it in a league of its own, full of character and charm. A must-try bourbon in 2022, there's no wonder why it was ranked #3 on Whisky Advocate's list of the best of the year.

#4 - A re-imagination of one of the world's most classic scotch whiskies, Dewar's 12 Year Old Blended Scotch Whisky has been reinvented by Stephanie Macleod (Dwear's Master Blender), with the introduction of first-fill bourbon cask finishing creating another beast entirely. The new Dewar's 12 is an elevated and exciting scotch that brings forth robust character, with layers of vanilla, honey, citrus and apricot, alongside a subtly smoky, oakiness. Clocking in at #4 on the Whisky Advocate's Best of 2022 list, this could be the best value whisky of the decade.
