I am not so sure about that. I hate bourbon but I like rye.
After Evil Prohibition, bourbon and other similar whiskies replaced rye with the public---who had gotten used to nasty Canadain whiskey, which is only a small amount Rye---by law!
Hi
Well James, I"m not quite in your boat. I like Rye (love Sazerac), I love most all Bourbon, and I love expensive Scotch. I detest cheap whiskeys that aren't Bourbon, cheap bourbon is still pretty good to mix with (Jim Beam, etc). Cheap Scotch (like Cutty) is just awful in my opinion. I can't stand any Scotches that are under Dewar's White Label or Famous Grouse (supposed to be Scotland's Bar Brand Scotch). I don't much like any blended whiskeys like Chivas, Black Velvet, Canadian Club etc. They're close, but not a real Bourbon, or a real Scotch.
James, I have no memory of what Overholt tastes like by itself. I guess I should try it. I'm not even sure I tried it without Ginger ale... I hope Ginger doesn't cause cancer of some sort, if it does I'm probably already near death.
On a side note, I replenished my supply of Irish Whiskey, Jacob's puts it on sale for Saint Patrick's Day, so I bought a 750 ml for $17.00.
Ramble mode off.....
