whiskey to me is sorta like wine. I can read the reviews and what it's supposed to taste like, but to me well whiskey tastes like whiskey. Sure some are 'smoother' and not as 'harsh', but beyond that I don't notice any differences. I've never spent lots of money on a bottle because of this. I've had Maker's Mark, Old Grande Dad (orange label), Jack Daniels, Gentleman Jack, Evan Williams, Seagram's VO. Of those I would say the ones I like the most are the Maker's Mark and Gentleman Jack.
For those of you who do drink whiskey fairly often is there a trick to notice difference? How do you pick up the notes of this or taste of that? If I were to pick something up what would you recommend - a single malt scotch, an Irish whiskey, etc? Something that isn't going to be too much $$$ but where I'd drink it and go hey this is good and different that what I've had before.
Thanks in advance guys.
