Having been a beer drinker since high school, oh, so long ago, I never got into distilled liquors. Occasionally, I would have a drink when the setting called for it. Then I would go for Jack Daniels and water. At home, it would be W.L. Weller Antique and water. Good stuff, in my mind.

Recently, all of my doctors say I need to lose the beer belly, so I am trying to cut out all the unnecessary carbs, which includes beer. I had already switched to the lowest carb/alcohol content beer I could find (yeech!). But that wasn't working.

So, I have now quit beer entirely and switched to whisky. Yes, I know the empty calories of alcohol do not help with weight loss.

Which brings us to the topic - Rye whisky!

I have long read about and heard songs about Rye whisky. Having never experienced it, I bought a bottle of Crown Royal Northern Harvest Rye Whisky. WOW! I'm liking this a lot! I'm going to try out some different brands of Rye in the future and see what they are like.

Does anyone have any suggestions about different brands I should try?
