The Best New Whiskeys to Drink This January

Forget Dry January for a moment (and Damp January, which is a thing). Let's talk whiskey! Every month yours truly collects a treasure trove of new bottles to sample. I then narrow this collection of delicious brown spirits down to 10 whiskeys (or whiskies) worthy of your time and palate — if not always your wallet. Occasionally, trends will form. This month, for example, Irish whiskey is taking the forefront, with Bushmills, Waterford and Teeling unveiling fascinating new expressions that break new ground on aging, secondary maturation and terroir. Also, if you haven't tried a peated Irish whiskey, you're in for a treat. Irish whiskey — not just for St. Patrick's Day anymore. — Kirk Miller, Sr. Lifestyle Editor
