Am I a beginner or an advanced connoisseur? You can start a targeted search here.

Now it's getting difficult! The choice is huge!

We suggest 3 beginner Whiskies, you can find more choices in the gift finder. Try a Glenkinchie, followed by a Cragganmore and a Bowmore.

The advanced connoisseurs among you have the advantage that they have already tasted a Whisky or two. But you are spoilt for choice. Why not try a Bunnahabhain, a St Kilian or a Kilchoman?

Every month, Ben and Horst Lüning go in search of the best whisky! They regularly taste current bottlings and classics and present our Whisky.de Awards.

A list of the best Whiskies can only ever be subjective! Are they Whisky.de's favourite whiskies? Do the Whiskies represent the best-selling whiskies in a particular period? Does the order indicate that the supplier or seller favours this whisky because they want to sell a lot?

You will understand that these questions are not so easy to answer. We have approached the subject in different ways in various articles. In the flavour review, we look at what makes a good Whisky. In the whisky recommendations, we present our personal favourites.

You have to try Whisky for yourself! But there are worse things!
