Whistle Pig Straight Rye Whiskey, 10 year

Tried on strong recommendation from a friend so I feel a little bad about this but: it just didn't work with my palate. It smelled amazing. Front end of a sip was tasty. Aftertaste was like getting hit in the tonsils with a bag full of gym socks.

Clean gym socks or dirty ones?

Dirty ones. At first I thought it might've been reacting badly to something I'd eaten so I ate something else, drank some water and tried again. Didn't work. :(

Oh, ugh. This is a reaction I have to some tequilas, which is why I'm really cautious about drinking tequila.
