Whiskey is more than just the key ingredient in an Old Fashioned. Much like wine, the manufacture of whiskey is rich in tradition and high standards of craftsmanship. This ranking series from RAVE covers five different categories of whiskeys: bourbon, rye whiskey, Irish whiskey, Japanese whisky, and Scotch.

Each of these types is traditionally made in a specific location with a distinctive technique, and each one produces a unique spirit as the final result.

"It was important to us to cover whiskeys at a range of price points, so that our readers could find a really high-quality spirit no matter how much they have to spend," said Eleri Miller, Marketing Coordinator for RAVE Reviews. "That's why each ranking names a winner in three categories: best top-shelf, best mid-shelf, and best budget."

In determining which whiskeys to feature, RAVE compared reviews from bartenders, mixologists, and whiskey experts across the internet. The RAVE team took into account a wide variety of factors, including flavor profile, finish, distillery of origin, ABV, price, range and quality of ingredients, and any other distinctive characteristics.
