Gary’s Favorite Spirits Of The Year 2021

Gary’s Favorite Spirits Of The Year 2021

The death of our friend Willie and the Holiday season did not give me enough time to write another entry to this blog over the last few months. But here is the next installment.

At the end of every year all wine and spirit publications have lists of the “Best of the year”.

In that spirit here is, in no particular order, a list of spirits that I got to try and really loved last year.

Takamine - 8 Years Old Japanese Whiskey

Angel's Envy - Bourbon Finished in Port Casks - Private Selection Single Barrel 108 Proof

Angel's Envy is one of my favorite every day Bourbon. Since I got to pick the barrel this is one of my favorite bourbons of the year.

I got to try two exceptional whiskies from some  of my favorite Scotish distilleries, but as the scotish would say: they are a “wee bit” expensive.
