First of all, let's learn about the scoring standard of whiskey Bible!
The Whisky Bible, written by Jim Murray, the first full-time whisky writer in the world, can be said to be the most authoritative whisky scoring book in the world. This list is based on the quality of whisky. Jim Murray uses the 100 scale. The evaluation criteria include aroma, taste, aftertaste and balance, with 25 points each.
For wineries, the annual announcement gives many emerging whisky wineries an opportunity to show their faces; For consumers, this is the most reliable guide to buying wine. Whiskey Bible 20 19 covers more than 4,600 kinds of whiskies and detailed tasting terms, including all the whiskies on the market and the latest issue of this year (or not discovered before). For everyone, the biggest concern is of course all the award-winning wines on the list.
However, in 20 19, the prices of all imported whiskies increased steadily. If it is on the list, it will be even worse, and the price will become unbearable in a short time. Local tyrants can't afford it either. ....
The following is a complete list of the 20 19 award-winning wines of the Whisky Bible.
First of all, the best whisky in the world.
1, winner: William Kentucky bourbon
William Lalu Weller is one of the most important figures in the history of Bourbon dynasty. 1849, the earliest bourbon without rye came out. This wine was named after William Lalu Weller.
William is from Buffalo. As early as 1787, there was a winery at the current site where the buffalo footprint was located; 1857, the winery became the first winery in the United States to use steam power, and was quickly acquired by Edmund Haynes Taylor, a famous winery in Kentucky (E.H. Taylor is known as the father of modern bourbon industry, and the twelfth president of the United States, Zachary Taylor, is his uncle); During prohibition, Buffalo Footprints was one of four wineries licensed by the government to produce wine for use. 1999, the winery was renamed Buffalo Traces, from the then name George T. Staag Winery.
The biggest feature of William bourbon is that it does not add rye, but only corn and wheat. Light-bodied, round and delicate, sweet and complex.
This wine was distilled in 2005, bottled at 20 17, aged at 12, and its alcohol content was 64. 1%abv without concentration and filtration. Only less than 20,000 bottles were produced, and the international average price was close to 4 800 yuan per bottle.
2. runner-up: crown 18 single malt whisky.
Glen Grant, founded in 1840, is one of the three major malt whisky brands in the world. The winery is located on the Spitz River in Scotland, where there are cool springs, abundant barley and high-quality peat, and the climate is suitable. This is an ideal hometown for producing whisky, so Grand Crown whisky is also called real whisky.
The four distillers of Grand Crown Winery are very unique, the bottom of the bottleneck is vertical, and a purifier is installed to make the mixed flavor and heavy flavor circulate, so the obtained whiskey tastes lighter and purer. Bourbon barrels are mainly used for barrel aging, and less than 10% of whisky is stored in sherry barrels, which are mainly used for 10 year aging. 60% of its products are mainly used for chivas regal blending whisky.
Grand Crown 18 single malt whisky bottle has an alcohol content of 43%abv, ranking second in the whisky bible in 20 17 and third in 20 18, and now it is back in the second place again, and the price of this wine is very close to the people. The international average price is close to 900 yuan/bottle.
3. Third place: thomas handy barrel strong rye whisky
Since 2000, Buffalo Footprint Winery has released a limited number of super wines once a year. This series is an antique series, which aims to fully show the elegance of American whiskey, but it is basically a hard-to-find bottle, and this wine is one of them.
This series started with only three bottles, and formed five bottles in 2006, which is called "Buffalo and Five Tigers". These five bottles of wine, a barrel of strong traditional bourbon, a barrel of ordinary traditional bourbon, a barrel of strong wheat bourbon, a barrel of strong rye and a barrel of ordinary rye, are all high-end products that are hard to find.
It is admirable that Buffalo Footprint Winery knows that its wine is badly fried outside, but it is still cool-headed: it has not expanded production on a large scale, stopped selling because the original wine is not enough, and has not raised the ex-factory price. It is a real conscience winery.
Although this wine is only six years old, it must not be underestimated. Won the title of the best rye whisky in the United States in the 20 16 global whisky competition. "127.2Proof" in the wine name means alcohol content, and it is changed to the well-known alcohol content unit of 63.6%abv, that is, the original barrel force. In recent years, whiskey with strong barrel flavor is also very popular. This wine is not condensed and filtered, limited to 14000 bottles, and the international average price is close to 4000 yuan/bottle.
4. Best single barrel: Polish gold standard single barrel bourbon.
Brandon's is also from buffalo footprints. Polandon was born in 1984 to commemorate the bicentennial of Frankfurt, the capital of Kentucky. It is named after Colonel Albert Brandon, a famous bourbon maker.
Colonel Bolton joined Buffalo Footprint on 1987, devoted himself to producing high-quality whisky, and became the president of Buffalo Footprint on 192 1. In Colonel Bolton's time, bourbon bottled in this warehouse was distributed to ambassadors, dignitaries, VIPs and close friends. Today, although several years have passed, this warehouse is still the most important single barrel whisky warehouse in Poland.
The raw materials of this wine include corn, rye and barley. After 4-6 years of barrel aging, the alcohol content is 50%abv, and the international average price is about 550 yuan/bottle.

Sazerac Corp.
And what is the origin of William Lalu Weller's 20 17 edition 128.2 certificate? This whisky comes from a very mysterious company, Sazerac Company. It is said that its owner is worth more than $3.8 billion and is one of the best local wine merchants in the United States. Sazerac is an American wine company owned by a private family and headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky. The company is owned by billionaire William Godling and his family. As of 20 17, it has 9 wineries and 2,000 employees, and its business covers all over the world 1 12 countries. (The company owns several brands of alcoholic beverages, of which the following figure is only a part. )
Buffalo Trace, a famous buffalo miracle winery in Kentucky, belongs to this company. Buffalo Footprint is a very powerful American winery, and its American whisky brand is dazzling.
April 20 18, the winery reached a record of 7 million barrels of whisky after the prohibition in the United States, super!
Buffalo Footprint Winery has many well-known whisky brands, including this year's third-place whisky Thomas H handy and the best single-barrel whisky Blanton's gold single barrel.
William Larue Weller is one of the high-end bourbon brands owned by Buffalo Footprint Winery. The grain formula of this brand of bourbon is 70% corn, 16% wheat and 14% barley malt. It is worth mentioning that Van Winkle series, another high-end bourbon brand of Buffalo Footprint Winery, has also been produced with the same formula in recent years. Buffalo Footprint Winery has always had four grain formulas for producing its various whisky brands. This kind of situation is very common in America. The whisky brand corresponding to the specific formula of Buffalo Footprint Winery is shown in the following figure.
This year's award-winning William Lalu Weller's exact time is 12 and 6 months. The winery has been * * selecting 155 barrels of wine to create this champion whisky, with an alcohol content of 64. 1% (the alcohol content unit in the United States is as high as 128.2proof twice). In fact, it also has more whisky ... for example, this bottle is over 70 degrees.
As we all know, after being voted the best whisky of the year by Jim Murray, the price will soar. Fortunately, William La Ruville whisky has been fried very high in the United States, generally around $700, which is very expensive (even Americans can't afford it). Moreover, due to the trade war, American whisky was subject to a 25% tariff in China, which makes it more difficult for ordinary people to understand its flavor.
