I was wondering about sweet tea and bourbon and unsweetened tea and scotch. Is there a correlation? Let's start a poll. Count up in your reply by adding 1 to the count. Sweet tea is like drinking syrup to me.

I'm a 'half-sweet' guy, like both scotch & bourbon; but nothing beats ice cold beer in a Mississippi summer day!
Unsweet
I drink bourbon more than scotch, probably 4:1 ratio. Part of that is you can find lots of drinkable bourbons just about anywhere but if you get a bad bottle of scotch it’s a struggle to finish

Sweet. Scotch 99%, Irish whiskey very occasionally. Never cared for bourbon at all, although I realize there are far more bourbon drinkers than scotch drinkers in this country-so I’m not sure what that says about me. My Daddy drank bourbon for the first 40 or so years of his life, then suddenly switched to scotch and drank scotch exclusively for the remainder of his 82 years. He passed away suddenly after finishing off 2 doubles of I think it was 12 year old McCallan. Kicked back in his recliner having a drink with my Mama and just closed his eyes and never made another sound, twitch or anything. I think he would have said it was the perfect way to go. We should all be so lucky…
I don't drink much tea either way, but sweet over unsweet when I do.
Bourbon over Scotch. I do no like Scotch. It's too dry. However, the last time I tried was at least 15 years ago when a buddy of mine tried to drink to Thorogood's "One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer" every time he said it. The Scotch was the hardest to get down & we had this brilliant idea after boozing all day at 1 am. Don't recall the quality of said spirit.

About 5 years ago I changed my diet and cut out most processed foods and sugar. When I did my taste changed and everything tasted too sweet including bourbon. I had to switch to rye whiskey and scotch.Now I still limited the amount of processed food and sugar but thank goodness my taste changed back and including drinking bourbon.
Sweet tea, but not with sugar. Splenda is preferred, Sweet and Lo will do but that is what I grew up with. Any sugar drink to me is like drinking syrup.
And I will always prefer Bourbon.

Bourbon and Sweet Tea. Prefer an Arnold Palmer with sweet tea.
Love bourbon. I don’t know Scotch. I have only tried 4 and the only one that was not awful to me was a $300+ 18 year Macallan my bro-n-law received as a gift. I apparently do not like peated scotch, so if anyone has recommendations for non-peated I would appreciate it.
