Dirty cheap is Turkey but everyone loves Buffalo Trace and that's not bad. Balvenie is delicious and everyone likes it but she's on the pricey side.

Huh I'm suprised you haven't. so from what I can tell wisers is a Canadian heavy corn whiskey I know I've had whiskeys I haven't liked before but I'm not sure on if they were corn/rye etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not good or bad I just haven't explored there yet. If Wisers is corn based go to bourbon. Look for bourbon with higher corn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonna ask a stupid question here whats makes bourbon bourbon? Sure I could google it but whats the fun in that That's a good question I don't know why I haven't. I never drank hard stuff before always beer. My buddy offered me Bulleit 10 year and I loved it so I started drinking it. I then learned Bulleit was a bourbon so I started drinking bourbon and then branched out into scotch. Haven't gone any further yet. Some people don't think highly of Canadian whisky because they don't have tight rules. I am no expert but bourbon must be 51% corn, can only be produced in the US, I think it needs new oak barrels and 3 year minimum barrel life? Buffalo Trace is a great started. Turkey is cheaper but has more bite. Can't go wrong with Makers Mark either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I call them sugar water but it's kind of like saying Coors tastes like a warm bath. Some people love Coors. If you ask me my favorite beer is free and my second favorite is cold. There's a beer and whisky for every occasion. Higher corn content usually means sweeter. Edited January 29, 2022 by Chris12345 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I'm not a fan of most Canadian whisky because of the lack of rules. Lot 40 is an exception though as it's 100% rye. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not the biggest Rye fan myself. I prefer the malts in Irish. https://www.tasteofhome.com/article/types-of-whiskey/ You just have to find what you prefer pallet wise. Theres such variety out there, its fun to try. I will never turn down a glass of whiskey no matter style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
