LiquorHound's Best Spirits of 2019

Well, we’ve made it to the end of another year, and that means it’s time to name my favorite spirits of 2019. The bottles shown all made a big impression on me and yet are somewhat available and not considered “allocated.” So hopefully you can try/buy some of these and know they're solid selections. As always, I like to thank all my YouTube viewers and especially my Patreon supporters that help me continue creating content throughout the year.

As of December 2019, my current bottle count is over 2,500. I am a Certified Specialist of Spirits and have also been accredited by the Tequila Regulatory Council (CRT). I've been actively collecting for the last two decades and what started as a small basic home bar has transformed (with the help and understanding of my wonderful wife) into what I think is a pretty nice collection.
