When it comes to drinking whiskey straight, there is no one-size-fits-all answer.
Some more popular and highly rated whiskeys great for sipping include Scotch whiskies like Balvenie Double Wood Scotch Whisky; Japanese whiskies such as Yamazaki 12-Year-Old Whiskey; and American whiskeys like Woodford Reserve Bourbon, Bulleit Bourbon 10 Years Old, Colonel E.H. Taylor Straight Rye, and Buffalo Trace Bourbon.
