If heartbreak had a flavor, Dylan Scott just bottled it and called it โI Hate Whiskey.โ Released ahead of his upcoming album Easy Does It, this track is a mid-tempo gut-punch that sips regret straight from the bottle. From the first strum of the guitar and organ cry, Scottโs voiceโequal parts velvet and gravelโpours over the melody like a shot that goes down rough and lingers long. You can almost see him at the bar, haunted by what used to be, every lyric swirling with the ghosts of a Tennessee girl who clearly did a number on his heart.
The hook is maddeningly catchy in that โyell-it-to-your-steering-wheelโ kind of way, and the writing is clever as hell. He can handle tequila, beer, even wineโbut whiskey? Nah, thatโs love in a glass, and it hits too close to home. โIt doesnโt burn your memory, it just lights it upโโthat line alone is enough to make you swear off dark liquor for life. Scott manages to take classic country heartbreak and make it sound fresh, modern, and painfully relatable without losing the raw emotional twang fans love him for.
โI Hate Whiskeyโ is a whiskey-soaked wallow dressed up as a barroom banger. With this track, Scott isnโt just riding the high of his recent chart-toppersโheโs doubling down on his storytelling, vulnerability, and that signature slow-burn swagger that makes even pain sound irresistible. Listen to it on Spotify.
