Glenmorangie A Tale of The Forest, 46%

Barbecue lovers will find refuge in this whisky, which smells like a Fourth of July party—there are burnt ends, mesquite smoke, charcoal grill, brisket, and grilled corn husks. A hint of strawberry sweetness balances out these meaty, smoky flavors. The palate is surprisingly fruity, with strong notes of raspberry coulis, ripe red berries, and orange scone. Long-lasting spice, cooling menthol, and rooibos tea on the finish complete this winding, mouthwatering journey. No.-8 Top 20 2023
