Have you tried any scotches? Tennessee Whiskey and other bourbons will have a mash that is made up of at least 51% corn, many are made up of a lot higher % though. The corn makes them sweeter than a rye whiskey or a scotch which uses malted barley. Rye will be a little spicier than scotch. If you are looking for a whiskey with some smokey flavor the two I would look at are Ardbeg and Laphroaig. Irish whiskey and Japanese whiskeys since they are generally less sweet. You might want to check out the book"Whisk[e]y Distilled: A Populist Guide to the Water of Life" by Heather Greene. It is super approachable and informative. I saw some other mention Rittenhouse Rye, which I agree is great Rye to try.
