If you mean American whiskey distilleries, these are among the standouts in 2026:
1. Buffalo Trace Distillery - Kentucky - Historic powerhouse; exceptional bourbon and rye, including the Buffalo Trace, Eagle Rare, and Van Winkle lines.
2. Heaven Hill - Kentucky - One of the best broad portfolios, from value bourbon to serious age-stated whiskey. Forbes Forbes
3. Willett Distillery - Kentucky - Family-run, highly regarded for bourbon and rye; its Old Bardstown Bottled-in-Bond scored 98/100 at the 2026 IWSC. Forbes
4. Frey Ranch - Nevada - One of America's most interesting grain-to-glass producers; all the grains are grown on the ranch. Its 10-year single barrel took 97/100 at the 2026 IWSC. Forbes
5. Woodford Reserve - Kentucky - Excellent for both the distillery experience and classic Kentucky bourbon.
6. Still 630 - Missouri - A particularly exciting craft producer; its Due Process Bourbon won America's Best Cask Strength Whiskey at the 2026 ADI judging. Forbes Forbes
7. Jos. A. Magnus & Co. - Washington, D.C. - Particularly good if you like elaborate barrel finishing; its flagship bourbon uses sherry and Cognac casks. Forbes
8. Widow Jane - Brooklyn, New York - Known for blending and aging Kentucky bourbon in New York; its 10-year won its category at the 2026 ADI judging. Forbes
If you're choosing distilleries to actually visit, rather than just drink their whiskey, I'd prioritize Buffalo Trace, Woodford Reserve, Heaven Hill, and Willett in Kentucky, with Frey Ranch as the most unusual destination.
If you meant best distilleries near Los Angeles, I can give you a California-focused list instead.
