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.
