Whiskey is one of mankind’s oldest vices and continues to be a popular drink all over the world. It’s made from cereal grains and is generally distilled twice. Most whiskeys are aged in oak barrels before bottling; this gives them their color, flavor, and aroma.

Here’s a roundup of the best whiskey brands in the world today:

10. Jack Daniel’s

Jack Daniel’s is a Tennessee whiskey produced in Lynchburg, TN. It was established in 1866 and is the best whiskey for cocktails around the world. Jack Daniels has been awarded several honors over the years, including a string of medals at international competitions for its high quality. The company produces three kinds of whiskey: Old No 7, Gentleman Jack, and Single Barrel Select; all are aged using large barrels that give them their distinct flavor profile. Jack Daniels also offers its own signature branded range of best whiskey glasses.

9. Early Times Bourbon Whiskey

Early Times was first introduced to the market by Brown-Forman Corporation in the 1870s as an alternative to more expensive whiskeys such as Jack Daniel’s and Evan Williams’ brands. It remains one of America’s best-selling bourbons today with sales topping 3 million cases per year worldwide since 2001 even though it only occupies 1% share of total bourbon consumption volume compared to 25% share held by Jim Beam alone. Early Times Bourbon can be found on liquor store shelves all over the world; it is also sold in some countries under other brand names such as Early Times Scotch Whisky and Early Times Bottled-in-Bond.

8. Jim Beam Bourbon Whiskey

Jim Beam was first introduced to the market by Jacob Beam at his Clermont distillery in 1795 but wasn’t commercially bottled until 1805 when James Crow took over management of the distillery from Jacob’s son. The company (now part of Suntory Holdings) has since grown into one of America’s leading producers with an annual production capacity exceeding 4 million cases per year. As a result, Jim Beam remains one of the most popular American whiskeys today and can be found on liquor store shelves around the globe including Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East, and Africa regions where its strongest performance comes from Australia followed by New Zealand. It is also available in Canada under another name: Old Tub Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey which is produced by Bacardi Limited for Diageo North America.

7. Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel Select Tennessee Whiskey

Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel is a high-end whiskey produced in Lynchburg, TN at the oldest registered distillery in America which was established by Jasper Newton “Jack” Daniels in 1866. Each bottle of this premium product is crafted from a single barrel of specially selected spirits aged between 4 and 6 years; as such, each bottle tastes slightly different from another depending on its age and proof level (90 or 100). 

6. Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey Black Label

This is a variant of the original Old No 7 produced at Brown-Forman’s flagship distillery in Lynchburg, TN since 1936. It was first aged in barrels that had previously held whiskey made from corn mash; however, after switching to making whiskey from 100% rye mash, it was rebranded as Jack Daniels Rye which is currently owned by Diageo and found on liquor store shelves all over the world with sales exceeding 1 million cases annually. In 2005, Jack Daniel’s reintroduced this bourbon into its existing core portfolio under a new name: Gentleman Jack which has been available for international markets such as China and Singapore only – not in the U.S. The brand followed up last year with Early Times Bottled-in-Bond 1873 Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey commemorating Brown Forman’s 200th Anniversary milestone held late last year before introducing another addition to its Single Barrel family called Single Barrel Select Tennessee Whisky.

5. Johnny Walker Black Label Blended Scotch Whisky

Johnnie Walker is the world’s best-selling blended whisky with more than 200 million cases sold worldwide every year since 1820, making it one of the oldest brands in existence today as well as a strong contender for single malt category ranking on this list (it currently holds 4th place). The brand was established by John “Johnnie” Walker after he bought over the small grocery shop at 72 Gaslight Street in Ayrshire and began selling his own blend of whiskies under the name Johnnie Walker Blue Label; he then introduced Red Label and Green Label before his death in 1907. Today, there are six variants available including De Luxe Gold Reserve which is made from rare extracts of 12 different kinds of malts including some unpeated ones aged up to 28 years as well as Peaty Tang – a peaty smoky whiskey that consists entirely from 100% Highland malted barley with no grain or other additives used.

4. Jameson Irish Whiskey

Jameson is the top-selling whiskey in Ireland and one of the best-selling drinks in the world with sales topping 6 million cases per year since its inception in 1780; it currently holds a 5% share of global whiskey consumption volume, with more than 80% coming from export markets including Australia, Brazil, UK, New Zealand, and Asia Pacific region where India alone accounts for nearly 20% of total annual sales. 

3. Jim Beam Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Jim Beam was first introduced to the market by Jacob Beam in 1795; it is named after his grandson, James “Jim” Bunch who established a distillery in Clermont, KY shortly after which grew into one of America’s leading producers today with an annual production capacity exceeding 4 million cases per year – making it one of the largest in terms of output volume worldwide.

2. Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey Old No 7

Jack Daniels was established in Lynchburg, TN by Jasper Newton “Jack” Daniel in 1866 after his return from working at a liquor store owned by Dan Call during the Civil War. It remains one of America’s best-selling bourbons today with annual sales exceeding 6 million cases since its inception nearly 140 years ago; it currently holds 25% share of total U.S whiskey consumption volume and more than 5% share worldwide – making it among the most popular whiskeys around along with Jameson Irish Whiskey (it narrowly beats JD when looking at total case shipments per year).

1. Maker’s Mark Bourbon

Maker’s Mark was first introduced to the market in 1950 by Bill Samuels Sr. at his distillery in Loretto, KY; it is made using a unique process that involves “dipping” each bottle into hot water before adding a small amount of charred white oak and sealing them with wax to maintain natural color and flavor as well as taste over time – giving Maker’s its distinct vanilla aroma. 

As you can see from this list, there are plenty of options out there if you’re a whiskey hound. So don’t be afraid to try something new and branch out from the usual Jack Daniels or Jim Beam. But if you want to stick with a tried-and-true classic, that’s fine too. There’s nothing wrong with consistency, especially when it comes to your drink of choice.
