Buchanan

Buchanan’s 18 Year Old Special Reserve Scotch won the award for Best Blended Scotch in the 16 Years and Older category.

If you want to be sipping the best whiskey in the world, there’s only one competition you need to pay attention to.

More than 2,200 spirits were entered to be sipped and evaluated at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition, which was held in April. More than 20 whiskeys from some of the world’s most prestigious distilleries earned awards.

The prices range — while most clock in below $100, others reach far into the hundreds-of-dollars range.
