I've had Rye a few times, and thought it was pretty decent. I am also a scotch drinker, and have said this before, but once you drink scotch, it's hard to go back to anything else in the whiskey department. I drank a bottle of Old Overholt Rye, and have also tried Wild Turkey and Jim Beam's Rye. I found Rye to be a bit sweeter than any other type of whiskey. I stumbled across an article in a men's magazine last summer which said that Rye is making a comeback and it's "trendy" or "cool" to order rye in a bar. I, for one, do not need a magazine's help to determine what's cool or what isn't.
