This Colorado Bourbon Ranked Among the Top 10 Best for 2022
Personally, I love bourbon and American whiskeys. On the rocks or in a cocktail, the spirit is great. However, I prefer my bourbon neat. Over the past few years, I have had my share of bourbon and whiskey and there are some I prefer more than others as certain drinks.

For bourbon enthusiasts like myself, we patiently await the release of Fred Minnick's Top 100 American Whiskeys of the year. Minnick has released the list for the best in 2022 and one Colorado bourbon has made the top 10 list.
