As 2025 draws to a close, our team at The Bourbon Concierge looks back at the bottles that defined the year — the best bourbons, ryes, and whiskeys that impressed us most. From age-stated icons like Michter’s 25-Year and Old Fitzgerald 19-Year to new standouts like Jack Daniel’s Twice Barreled American Single Malt, these are the pours that captured our attention and raised the bar for craftsmanship. Each bottle tells a story of innovation, heritage, and flavor worth remembering. Whether you collect, gift, or simply savor, our 2025 favorites highlight what makes this era of bourbon so extraordinary — and why these bottles belong in every serious whiskey lover’s glass.

Bourbon Heritage Month only comes once a year — and 2025 is bringing some serious heat. We’ve rounded up private barrel gems, international exclusives, vintage dusties, and prestige releases that collectors dream about. These aren’t your everyday pours; they’re the bottles you text your bourbon friends about.
