These 25 bottles were chosen based on flavor, and flavor alone.
As 2021 staggers to a close, it's time to reflect on all of the delicious booze we've (responsibly) consumed over the past 12 months. And man, we savored our whiskey, rum, tequila, vodka, and gin this year, as our hopes soared and crashed on this wild ride of politics, pandemic, and economic uncertainty. The one thing we could count on was distilleries continuing to make top-notch spirits, so we took on the admittedly very enjoyable job of choosing Esquire's best bottles of 2021 by sipping, quaffing, and sampling such spirits from every category. The following list represents a range of craft and macro distillery releases. Some are cheap and widely available, others are pricey and frustratingly elusive. But our main qualification was that these spirits tasted really, really good, regardless of how much hype (or lack thereof) was behind them, because a fascinating backstory or new label design has no flavor. So happy hunting. And pace yourself. If whiskey were a religion, it'd never want for worshippers. You just got to have it—for the 4K, the endless content, and the huge clear sound. Add to cart now to get into her good graces. We used to have laws about this kind of thing. The year was a banner showing for literary treasures. Why we return to the central tragic figure of The Godfather again and again isn't just for entertainment. It is primal. Just as he presides over his world, we are masters of our dream, and it is a Corleone-like axiom that we can have anything we want—if we want it enough. |
