A global academy of experts convened by Drinks International has bestowed the whiskey industry’s highest honor on Louisville-based Michter’s for the third consecutive year: The World’s Most Admired Whiskey. The annual Drinks International top-50 ranking is considered the definitive list of the world’s best whiskies and represents the pinnacle of achievement in the trade.
The rankings, which are determined by an Academy of independent global drinks buyers, journalists, bartenders and whisky experts from more than 20 countries, represent the pinnacle of achievement in the global whisky trade. The annual Drinks International ranking is considered the definitive list of the world’s best whiskies. Springbank and Yamazaki, two iconic distillers, were named Most Admired Whisky in 2022 and 2021, respectively.
According to Shay Waterworth, Editor of Drinks International, “Over the past decade I’ve seen the reputation of Michter’s surge among the trade. Matt Magliocco and his team have worked tirelessly to engage with the global bar trade, and its maturation programme is one of the most impressive I’ve come across. It’s no surprise to see Michter’s retain the top spot in The World’s Most Admired Whiskies.”
All of us at Michter’s express our heartfelt thanks to our industry supporters and everyone who enjoys Michter’s. We are honored beyond words to be named The Most Admired Whiskey in the World.
