A first-time drinker will recoil at the suggestion of anything other than a cocktail that is loaded with sugar. Hard liquors on its own is challenging to digest when you’re just starting out in the realm of liquors. You may want to preserve a list of drinks that fit you. Especially if you are in a group of liquor lovers who have a bit of expertise in fine alcoholic beverages. You don’t have to limit yourself to cocktails and spritzers because there is such a wide variety of alcoholic beverages available that they all taste nice. Here are the top-tasting alcoholic beverages for novices.
Alcohol is without a doubt a significant part of many social events. What happens, however, if you prefer to sip on something tasty? Some alcoholic beverages taste better than others, and not all alcoholic beverages are made equal. There are several aromas and tastes waiting to be discovered, ranging from fruity drinks to smoky Scotch whisky.
So have a look at our list of the best-tasting liquors in the world. If you’re a novice or an experienced drinker trying to broaden your drinking experiences.
Prichard’s Double Chocolate Bourbon
It can’t be called “bourbon” until it’s matured in new oak barrels and contains 51 percent maize. And we’ve already stopped listening. This will enrage those petty weiners who continuously tell you that it must meet those requirements. This is where the issue with flavored liquors acceptability resides. Bourbon should be consumed by drinkers because it tastes excellent. Not because it satisfies the Federal Standards of Identity for Distilled Spirits.
It’s important to note that this is Tennessee whiskey, not “Tennessee whiskey,”. It is neither cheap liquors with Nesquik squeezed in nor a creamy Godiva liqueur that divorcees prefer to order with their chocolatinis at Chili’s. Instead, this is a premium bourbon that has been expertly blended in small amounts with Olive and Sinclair chocolates, which give the drink a mellow, bitter cocoa flavor at the conclusion.
Leopold Bros Rocky Mountain Peach Whiskey
The traditional style of Grandma’s cobbler, which combines bourbon and peaches, is a match made in heaven. Here, the Denver distillers who created a line of fruit whiskies modeled after 19th-century methods (they also come in apple and blackberry flavors) combine their small batch whiskey with locally grown peaches that have just been juiced before aging it in ex-bourbon barrels.
American whiskey’s sweetness and the nuanced tartness of eventually-oxidized peaches combine to create a rich, dessert wine-like spirit. It appears so straightforward that you almost wonder why global beverage corporations keep sending their experts to the lab to create flavors on purpose. On the other hand, we wouldn’t have “peach berry cobbler” vodka without those geniuses.
Whistling Andy Hibiscus Coconut Rum
Rum is the kind of sweet liquors that readily lends itself to seasoning. Of course, the only rums that have been offered to us in the last ten years have tasted like Coppertone. Whistling Andy, based in Montana, creates the uncommon flavored rum with genuine ingredients and handcrafted, artisanal methods. Its head distiller, a hydro-geo engineer (I have no idea what that is), decided to use his hydro-geo engineering abilities to actually do something significant in the world: make distinctively flavored spirits.
The Hibiscus Coconut Rum produced by Whistling Andy is the most intriguing. They also produce a Cucumber Gin and a Pink Peppercorn Pear Gin for those who “never drink gin.” Despite being bursting with floral and tropical flavors, you’ll fortunately never mistake it for suntan lotion.
High West 36th Vote Barreled Manhattan
The High West Distillery in Park City, Utah now sells barrel-aged cocktails like this Manhattan and a Boulevardier, pushing the boundaries of flavoring spirits to their most exciting conclusion. You can relax because this isn’t a money-grabbing scam carried out by dreadfully slothful drunks. Instead, High West is a renowned distillery that creates some of the best and most unique whiskeys in the country right now.
Their own rye is used in their barrel-aged Manhattan. Which is then matured for 120 days in a two-year-old whiskey barrel. Sweet vermouth and Angostura bitters are also added. The ultimate result is a 74-proof, woody, well-blended Manhattan unlike any you’ve ever tasted. Not some alcopop that skuzzy adolescent tries to convince you to buy for him whenever you pass a 7-Eleven.
Knob Creek Smoked Maple Bourbon
A frat party with some pineapple slices floating in a jug of Popov may come to mind when you hear the phrase “infused liquor.” But today, the majority of the best cocktail bars also use infusions to make their concoctions more complicated. PDT’s bacon-infused bourbon, which is combined with maple syrup to create their legendary Benton’s Old-Fashioned, is one of my all-time favorites.
The newest product from Knob Creek is ideal for someone like me who adores that cocktail but is too lazy to infuse bourbon with rendered bacon fat and then go out and buy pricey Grade B maple syrup. Smoked Maple Bourbon is a suitably manly 90-proof spirit with classic bourbon tastes. And a delicate finish of smoked meats and maple that isn’t overly sweet as you might think. Why it nearly feels like you’re eating your breakfast with syrup.
Charbay R5 Hop-Flavored Whiskey
Beer firms have traditionally borrowed barrel-aging techniques from distilleries, but in this case, a Napa Valley distillery pays it forward. For R5, Charbay uses Alambic Charentais pot stills to distill the famous Racer 5 IPA from the nearby Bear Republic Brewing Company for ten days. A distinctively hoppy alcoholic beverage with a malty scent and an unexpectedly tropical fruit flavor is the end product. Inform your fellow beer enthusiasts that this 99-proof whiskey will make their double IPAs look downright pitiful.
Tanteo Jalapeño Tequila
Tequila is one spirit that is currently engaged in a war between the quality and the cringe, despite the fact that most flavored spirits innovation occurs in the whiskey sector and most of the cringe-worthy occur among vodkas (seriously?). The brand-new Tanteo, which makes three products—mango and pineapple Tropical, cocoa that resembles mole, and their excellent Jalapeno—might be the leader in terms of quality.
In the mountains of Tequila, Mexico (color this stupid gringo amazed that’s actually a real town). This tequila is distilled and infused with estate-grown blue weber agave and whole, local jalapenos. It pairs well with non-Taco Bell Mexican foods and has a good amount of heat. You can also serve it to the workplace jerk who insisted on taking shots with you during happy hour every time.
Malibu Coconut Liqueur
The renownedly delicious Malibu is the next beverage on our list of Best Tasting Spirits in America. And here is why. It contains sweetened coconut and Caribbean rum. This makes it simple to sip straight from the bottle or even up.
The ultimate tropical beach drink, the pia colada, is the greatest way to enjoy Malibu. Malibu is only 21% alcoholic, which means that in contrast to the other liquors we’ve seen, you hardly really notice it. Whether that is a good or bad thing is unclear to us.
Stolichnaya Razberi
The rich nose of raspberry jam, cooked sweets, and hot berry fruit flavors in Stolichnaya Razberi’s vodka is what first draws you in. The flavor has a raspberry ripple smoothness that is countered by rye and wheat grain vodka’s sweet spiciness and strong, crisp citrus overtones. A dash of pepper and cane from wild raspberries completes Stolichnaya Razberi. This vodka is excellent for both sipping on its own and mixing into drinks.
Stolichnaya Razberi can satisfy your cravings whether you’re looking for a new vodka to add to your home bar or a delectable present for a friend.
