BIG WHISKEY FULL

(The company recently discontinued the 1.75 liter version of Old Overholt Rye, but I would suggest buying the last of these bottles if you happen to see one on a store shelf.) These are whiskies that you can drink neat or use in a range of classic and modern cocktails. Look out for the 1.75 liter Maker’s Mark Bourbon ($50) and Knob Creek Bourbon ($60). Jim Beam may make the largest selection of large-size bottles on the market. While I knew Scotch brands Chivas Regal and Johnnie Walker sold oversized bottles, I was actually shocked by the breadth and depth of the selection of American whiskey handles.Īs we head further into what could be another long year for many, here are 11 large-format bottles that will keep you well-stocked. The truth, however, is that many premium spirits come in large sizes.

I think there is a general misconception that bigger whiskey bottles-sometimes glass, sometimes plastic-are full of bottom-shelf booze. In December, the feds announced some other sizes, like a 1.8 liter bottle.

Up until recently, the federal government allowed hard alcohol to come in just a few sizes in the U.S., including 375 ml, 750 ml, 1 liter and 1.75 liter.
