Funny, that this post should happen. I have never been a fan of:
Vodka - boring
Gin - at 16 had a bad experience...can't go back
Tequila - Same as above at 19
Bourbon - OK, never really did anything for me
Canadian or Irish Whiskey and Scotch were "my drink"
Recently however, after a woman introduced me to making manhattan's with Rye, I have recently been turned on to rye. We used Jim Beam Rye which I really liked. Just seemed like a smoother taste for my evening drink.
I am exploring Rye now. Just bought another bottle to try.
Pow-wow Botanical Rye - Brought to you by Georgetown Trading Co. I like this. Nice flavor.
In line with that, over christmas, I toured Mount Vernon and for a VERY hefty price, you can buy a bottle of George Washington Rye from his original distillery.
