It's all personal taste. Some people think Jack Daniels is fantastic, personally I think a booze that has a major advertising budget is a sure sign of rotgut, it might be just the thing for you. I prefer rye, but to each his own. I hate when people ask me if a beer is good, I can tell you many things about a beer but whether you like it if I don't know you is beyond me. I'm really into sampling, a small taste of scotch or a few ounces of beer if that's what it takes to find what a person will like is well worth the good will and happiness it engenders. I loath IPA's for the most part, but I understand that you might not, and there is nothing wrong with that (lager man myself). I don't like kiddie shit, I like mature drinks for mature drinkers, It's not about the drink, It's about the drinker.
