TOP 50 SPIRITS
OF 2014Standouts from the Spirit Realm
B Y K A R A N E W M A N
Out of the hundreds of spirits reviewed for this year’s Spirit Buying Guides, this list represents 50 of the best picks.
It’s a particularly diverse group this year, spanning a number of categories, provenances and flavor profiles. Of
course, it’s not comprehensive; only categories reviewed this year are eli-gible for inclusion, so unflavored vodkas, for example, aren’t strongly rep-resented here, although they had a strong showing in 2013.
The diversity extends to bottle prices as well, which range from $425 for a rare, hop-flavored American whiskey down to $17 for an amazingly refreshing cucumber vodka. “Top” in this context isn’t meant to be syn-onymous with most expensive, oldest or most rare—instead, it signifies best-in-breed, whatever the breed happens to be.
So, in addition to classically styled whiskies, rums, Tequilas and more, some delightful oddballs enter the mix. Carrot eau-de-vie? Peanut butter- and-jelly flavored vodka? An Indian-spiced cream liqueur? Yes to all three—bold flavors and a lot of fun are coming off the stills these days.
Whether your taste runs to well-made cocktails or straight-up sippers, at least one of these exceptional bottles deserves space on your home bar. Turn the page to discover your new best bar friend.

THE ENTHUSIAST
100 OF 2014
Our Top Picks of the YearB Y T H E E D I T O R S O F W I N E E N T H U S I A S T M A G A Z I N E
This year, Wine Enthusiast’s tasting panel reviewed more than 17,500 wines from around the globe, covering myriad regions, styles and prices. In the last two is-sues, we celebrated the wines that offer the most bang for your buck (Top 100 Best Buys) as well as the ones that you need to invest in today for enjoyment tomorrow (Top 100 Cellar Selections).
So now, here’s your ultimate shopping list: The Enthusiast 100.The Enthusiast 100 is the kingpin of our yearly roundups. This list of high-scoring gems
showcases the incredible diversity in the market, with wines from 16 countries representing nearly every style, from dry white and red wines to sparklers, rosés, sweet and fortified selec-tions. Beyond just numerical ratings, these wines boast excellent drinkability, availability and quality-to-price ratios, with an average rating of 93.6 and an average price of $37.80.
This year’s top spot goes to an Oregon Pinot Noir, the first time the state has topped the list. The Pacific Northwest is at top of mind for wine lovers, thanks to an attractive grape-growing climate and accessible land prices compared to its southern neighbor. This year’s Number One wine—a single-vineyard Pinot Noir from Carlton-based Ken Wright Cellars—illustrates the re-markable balance, finesse and beauty that the wines of Oregon can exhibit.
All of the selections on this list are not to be missed and are sure to be snapped up quickly, so find your favorites, grab a glass and enjoy!
