Bamber Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 Hi everyone. Have recently been really getting into Rye whisky - especially Sazerac 18 and Pappy Van Winkle 13, but have noticed Bourbon's that I really love taste funny afterwards: Too corny and oily - its almost as if I can no longer taste their rye content afterwards. This effect lasts about an hour. Has anyone else noticed this ? Cheers, Bamber Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeNell Posted May 15, 2004 Share Posted May 15, 2004 If you are drinking a spicier whiskey then go to a lighter, it can definitely affect your tastes. Same thing with wines. You go from light to heavy in order to blend your tasting experience a bit better. Maybe try rinsing your mouth with seltzer water if you just can't wait to get back to the bourbon after the rye. See if that helps. I do that sometimes when I've got a big tasting day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bamber Posted May 17, 2004 Author Share Posted May 17, 2004 Thanks for the advice.The thing is though, this was *really* pronounced - and it only seemed to effect Bourbon. Scotch seemed unaffected.Anyway cheers,Bamber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
