Funny, I'm exactly the opposite, both in experiece and palate.
I started loving whiskeys in college but just recently started sampling scotches in the last 5 years or so, and very intermittently at that. And since i'm used to the smoother, sweeter affectations of whiskey (corn), I find most scotches to be too dry and bitter for my tastes.
But Glenlivet is pretty damn good, I must say.
Sounds like you might enjoy Wild Turkey or Booker's; they are not as sweet as JD or Beam (though you'll have to find someplace that will serve Bookers by the glass because its far too pricey to buy a bottle just to try it).
And i must say I've never even heard of George Dickel.
