World'S Best Bourbon 2024 List. It's a small batch bourbon made by industry. Over 740 whiskey & bourbon distilleries were operating inside the united states in 2023, an increase of 11.6% from 2022, according to a recent report from ibis world.

It’s been a great start to 2024 for the bourbon industry. An incredible 136 bourbons earned the highest rating from the sfwsc’s 70 judges this year, a number that leads me to believe bourbon has never tasted better.
