<p>Whisky can say a lot about a person, so what do you want to say about them? If you don’t know your bourbon from your scotch, your Islay from your Speyside, choosing the right brand can be quite a daunting task.</p>
<p>We have rounded up the best whiskies on the market. There’s something for everyone, whether they’re an ardent scotch drinker, a cocktail king or a budding enthusiast, we’ve got you covered. We’ve also done our best to avoid the jargon, because this can make whisky quite intimidating to some.</p>
<p>Key to remember is that you have <a href="/review/best-scotch-whisky">Scotch whisky</a> and <a href="/review/best-irish-whiskey">Irish whiskey</a> – outside of these two nations, bottlers can decide themselves whether they’re keeping or dropping the ‘e’. Learn more in our article on <a href="/howto/guide/whisky-or-whiskey-whats-difference">Whiskey or whisky, what’s the difference?</a></p>
<p>Whisky is, more often than not, best enjoyed neat. But it’s a matter of preference; sometimes you need a neat Islay dram after a long day, sometimes you want to enjoy a long drink of Irish malt over ice. We’ve pointed out the whiskies best enjoyed with a little something extra.</p>
<p>Here are our top whiskies to order online for that special someone in your life.  For more, visit our <a href="/feature/reviews">reviews section</a> and find over 200 practical buyer’s guides including taste tests of <a href="/review/best-gin-reviews">gin</a>, <a href="/review/best-vodka">vodka</a>, <a href="/review/best-rum">rum</a>, <a href="/review/best-brandy-taste-tested">brandy</a> and more, plus gift guides like the <a href="/review/letterbox-gifts-by-post">best letterbox gifts to order online</a>.</p>

<p><strong>Best Welsh whisky</strong></p>
<p>The idea for Penderyn – the first Welsh whisky distillery in over a century – was born, as many great ideas are, during a late night in a pub. Established at the foot of the Brecon Beacons by a group of likely lads and steered for a time by legendary master distiller Dr Jim Swan, Penderyn consistently produces award-winning whisky. The Portwood is matured in ruby port barrels and is a deep stew of berries and summer fruits – these first appear on the nose with a dusting of cocoa before the fruits take centre stage on the palate, with baking spices supporting.</p>

<p><strong>Best Danish whisky</strong></p>
<p>Scandinavian spirits are a delight to explore. Bursting with character, you’ll often find that most spirits from northern Europe share an ingredient: rye. It’s plentiful in Denmark, so it makes sense that this storming Stauning spirit is named HØST, translating to ‘harvest’ in English, as a celebration of the rye and barley cultivation that surrounds the distillery. The nose is invitingly sweet and creamy, marrying vanilla and beeswax with lemon zest. The flora and fauna of the fields that inspired the bottle burst through the palate: orchard fruits and berries are at the fore, preceding a cinnamon spice finish.</p>

<p><strong>Best Taiwanese whisky</strong></p>
<p>Since its establishment in 2005, Kavalan has earned a reputation for excellence, with its Solist releases in particular enjoying widespread acclaim. Nestled in the lush landscapes of Yilan County, the distillery benefits from the pure spring water from Snow Mountain, as well as the Central Mountains. The subtropical climate also accelerates the maturation process, adding tremendous depth of character in a short space of time. Kavalan Sherry Oak is matured in handpicked Spanish sherry casks, and this is evident on the nose, with dried fruits and baking spices flooding in. The spices follow through to the palate, and are joined by plum and blackberry.</p>

<p><strong>Best Indian whisky</strong></p>
<p>Based in Bangalore and founded in 1948 by Shri J.N. Radhakrishna, Amrut is another distillery that is pioneering whisky in its country. Amrut Fusion is a blend of 75 per cent Indian barley and 25 per cent peated Scottish barley, which results in a spirit that is both sweet and slick, spicy and smoky – it’s a difficult line to walk, but it’s one this bottle does magnificently. Barley is at the fore on the nose, with spices and juicy fruits ahead of a whisper of peat. The peat muscles into the crowd on the palate, along with dark chocolate and fruity notes.</p>

<p><strong>Best for the whisky buff</strong></p>
<p>Nikka are one half of an indomitable pair of distilleries in Japan that have been at the peak of the Far East whisky market for decades. The Yoichi single malt is Nikka’s greatest success; the bottle leans into Nikka’s Scottish inspiration without being contrived, while bursting with their uniquely Japanese flavour profile. On the nose it’s delicately balanced, matching peat and tropical fruit, and a complex palate follows the same formula with added nuts. Ideal for a young whisky buff.</p>

<p><strong>Best for English whisky lovers</strong></p>
<p>This rich, smooth single malt matured in bourbon casks has plenty of characteristic vanilla flavours, sweet honey notes and candied fruit. It’s a punchy cask-strength expression made for slow sipping. Although the Cotswolds Distillery is relatively new to scene, having been established in 2014, it’s producing some exciting drams. The ideal gift for any whisky lover looking to expand their English whisky collection.</p>

<p><strong>Best for Irish whiskey enthusiasts</strong></p>
<p>Once upon a time this whiskey was exclusively sold in Mitchell’s grocers in Dublin. The bottle is now much adored throughout the world and in 2018 was awarded ‘liquid gold’ status by Jim Murray in his respected whisky bible. This whiskey is a supremely sippable, stubbornly Irish celebration of caramel and fruit. Give this one to any newbies or theatre geeks, any stage enthusiasts are sure to be bowled over by the company this whiskey keeps.</p>

<p><strong>Best for American whiskey explorers</strong></p>
<p>Whiskey aficionado Jim Murray awarded this bourbon his ‘liquid gold’ award in 2014. This spiced bourbon was the first addition to the Maker’s Mark range since the 1950s. The whiskey pitches a bag of spices against the sweet funfair notes typically found in bourbon. Nutmeg takes over from toffee apple with the subtlety of an earthquake but it is a pleasant seismic shift. The ideal gift for lovers of American whiskey.</p>

<p><strong>Best for environmentally conscious whisky fans</strong></p>
<p>A scotch that packs in spice and sea spray. Pulteney is an environmentally conscious distillery based in the Scottish coastal town of Wick. Its whiskies are unmistakably born at sea; they burst with salty sea air and the bracing freshness that comes as a result.</p>
<p>Its 15-year-old expression is no exception; salinity is balanced with delicate vanilla and warming spices, matched by sweet toffee and light floral flavours. A whisky bursting with character and flavour. Buy this bottle for the whisky drinking eco-warrior in your circle.</p>
