Find the 50 most viewed Halliday-rated spirits this year – from gin, vodka, rum and whisky to schnapps, limoncello, amaretto and rakija.

This year, we launched Halliday Spirits to shine a light on the world-class drinks being crafted by Australian distilleries. We enlisted the help of new Halliday tasters Fred Siggins and Jess Clayfield to review spirits from across the country, scoring them out of 100 (just like we do with all our wine reviews). 

They have spent the better part of this year tasting impeccable gin, whisky, vodka, liqueur, rum, brandy, amaro and more. And Halliday readers have been loving the new spirit tasting notes, learning more and more about these brilliant products.

To highlight what you've been viewing this past year, we've put together this list of the 50 most popular spirit reviews. Read on to see what others have been viewing in 2025, being sure to click through and read the full reviews (you don't need to be a Halliday member to see these).
