There are hundreds of blogs and websites dedicated to spirits and other alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. Each one will give you a reason why you should read them. All of them are focused on a specific group of readers, i.e. some blogs may give you nice food pairings with cocktails while some blogs may give you cocktail recipes. There can be plenty of options for these blogs such as spirits reviews by renowned beverage industry people, popular grape growing regions, tasting notes, and many more things a spirits lover would love to know. From this large span of spirits blogs categories, deciding which ones to follow and read regularly is a confusing part.
LSC has sorted a list of 25 spirits blogs that you should read if you are a spirits lover. The list has been curated according to the specific audience.
