Spirits Special 2025

Tasting

Tasting from 24.10.2025

Do you know that pleasant feeling you get just before you take your first sip of a great spirit? We owe that to a shot of dopamine from the cerebrum, which is either looking forward to something that is already part of the reward center's “Hall of Fame” or sensing a new temptation. We, who have had the pleasure of tasting around 950 different types of spirits for this magazine, can say with complete conviction: you never tire of this feeling. The resulting tasting guide also presents you, dear readers, with the best spirits of the year. We take you on a journey into the diverse world of distilled delights and give you the guidance you sometimes need in this jungle of temptations.
