[QUOTE="What Up Toad, post: 3018466, member: 72823"] Depends on what you like. Bourbon tends to be sweeter than other whiskeys, but it's still a whiskey. You can find some high proof bourbon that has a lot of bite. Of the dark spirits, brandy is probably the smoothest. Irish and Scottish whiskey (Scotch) have a smoky taste. For your other question, a rye whiskey just means it was made with rye instead of barley, wheat, or corn. Bourbon is made with corn. To be called a scotch, it has to be brewed in Scotland. To be called a bourbon, it has be brewed in the US. I'd recommend trying an Old Fashioned with bourbon first to see if you like it. I like Basil Hayden, which is real light and smooth. If you want to try a scotch, I'd put it on ice and swirl it until the glass is cold. The ice will dilute the scotch a bit, and it makes it easier to discern the flavors. [/QUOTE]
