yeah they are sweeter desu i've moved away from sweeter bourbons i like jim beam small batch for instance

i think entry level you go for the less harsh sweeter bourbons then you work your way into it

its like beer your first beer is always going to be some tastely macro brewery shit and then you start branching out into APA's, IPA's, pilsneres and lagers etc...

same goes for whisky...

>It's just the WT smelled really astringent and bad, then when I tasted it, it was just really weird taste. Medicine, yeah, that's somewhat what I felt it tasted like.

thats definitely the rye whisky taste your getting just avoid rye bourbon whiskys and you should be sweet

try no 7 or black label as it is referred to i think you'd enjoy that

its probably a good beginner bourbon

like i said though generally i mix bourbons and drink single malts straight

> I probably won't be able to drink actual whiskey, or, is bourbon just tough to drink compared to other scotch, irish and japanese whiskies?

bourbon is a little rougher i'd say than other whisky's but many people enjoy drinking it straight just try something that isn't a rye bourbon and is half decent

trust me i've been drinking bourbon since i was 13 and only discovered rye bourbons recently and i detest them so not all bourbons taste like wild turkey
