Voted Best Bourbon 2025. Here's how a ton of new bottles stacked up in a blind tasting. It's been a great start to 2025 for the bourbon industry.

An incredible 136 bourbons earned the highest rating from the sfwsc’s 70 judges this year, a number that leads me to believe bourbon has never tasted better. From straight bourbons to wheated concoctions, and from single barrel selections to small batch craftsmanship, let’s raise a toast to the unforgettable essence of the best bourbons.
