We’ve all got a go-to brand of whiskey that brings happiness in liquid form at the end of a long day. But if you’ve ever thought about switching up your favorite sip, then check out this list of best-tasting whiskeys.

Ranker.com polled 21,000 people about their favorite types of scotch, bourbon, rye, or blended whiskey. These aren’t the opinions of seasoned connoisseurs; rather, they’re the most voted-for producers and bottles of brown booze.

So pour yourself a few fingers and find out if your favorite hooch made the cut below:

15. The Balvenie Distillery

Unlike most single malts, our 12 Year Old Single Barrel is aged in a single cask to create a rich complex expression.
