How does "Rye" differ from bourbon? I can't seem to pull the trigger on Rye on the chance that I won't like it.
Would hate to waste it.
This pretty much captures it:
Taste Differences:
There are some generalizations that can be made when tasting Bourbon and Rye:
Bourbon tends to be fuller in body, richer and there are more concentrated notes of vanilla, baking spices and caramel.
Rye tends to be drier, more of a focus on the vegetal aspect of rye and almost always dominated by spice.
Canadian rye tends to be more mellow and light, with a hint of the Rye spiciness
