I will turn down Scotch, for some reason it tastes like soap or something burnt to me and most always has some factor in it that makes me feel poorly. Usually the scotch drinkers will have a decent bourbon or JD, or even a good cold vodka or gin sits easier with me than scotch.
Trying to "understand" Ryes these days, and enjoying the learning experience so far!
I'm the same way with scotch. Something about the way it's made, I suppose, gives all scotch I've ever tasted a flavor I don't like. All scotch I've ever had more than one glass of has given me a raging headache. Maybe I'm allergic to some congener that's in scotch but not in bourbon, irish whiskey or canadian whiskey.
My brother in law has been talking up rye whiskey lately. He's usually a crown royal drinker. I think it's time I started to "understand" rye whiskey.
