The ubiquitous world spirit, whiskey is the epicenter of the global liquor landscape and by far the most popular spirit in the United States. Whether it's the subtle sweetness of classic bourbon and Tennessee whiskies, the punchy potency of a Kentucky rye, or the brilliantly refined and sophisticated wares of Scottish distillers whose blended and single malt scotch whisky accounts for some of the finest drinking and sipping spirits in the world - there is no denying that whiskey is the world's most popular and beloved spirit.
