What is the difference between whiskey, bourbon and rye?

Asked by spykenij (1831points) November 7th, 2011

They all taste the same to me, with the exception that Canadian whiskey is nasty and Irish whiskey has a different tone to it, but it rocks. I’m a Jim Beam drinker and I recently tried rye for the first time and liked it. So, what is the difference between all 3. Also, Southern Comfort is absolutely disgusting, so let’s keep it out of this conversation, por favor. Is there a difference between whiskey and bourbon whiskey too or is it just a mix of the 2?
