Hey whiskey drinkers

So, I’m usually a beer guy. But lately have been trying out some whiskey (scotch, bourbon, etc). In general, the first sip usually burns a bit and isn’t enjoyable, but the next 2-n sips go down easy.

Anyone else have this “first sip” experience that’s not enjoyable but the rest of the drink is fine?

Honestly it depends on my mood or something. I don't drink whiskey that often but sometimes it goes down like elixir from the fountain of youth and sometimes I get a strong negative reaction. From the same bottle a week apart say.

@jon-nyc interesting, I’ve had that happen too.

Bourbon neat is my thing. The taste is acquired over time.

Yes, I had this happen in a previous life.

When I was a girl.

Also, let the record short Phibes used to be a girl. Explains a lot.

Just wait until you try some of George’s cheap scotch, the first sip of Grant’s has an aftertaste that reminds me of lighter fluid after that it is ok.

I have 6 or 7 whisky bottles open now. But I only have 2 or 3 shots per week, just enough to get the medical benefits.

I love whisky and brandy but alas it does not love me back. Yes, like with wine, Your palate will react differently to the same drink, even from the same bottle.

At least I know how to spell whisky.

Heh, the warmth is a big part of what I like in a whiskey. It’s the biggest reason why I prefer Monongahela Rye and Dad’s Hat in particular. The heat doesn’t go away on the second or even third sips.
