I hope this isn't an inappropriate topic for this section, but I was curious if anyone knew what taste sensations are stimulated by alcohol. Of the four taste buds; sweet, salty, bitter, and sour, I'm not sure where alcohol would fit. There is also a burning sensation associated with alcohol, but I'm not sure whether or not it's similar to the burning that capacitance in hot peppers cause.
I became curious about this while discussing whether to use a caramel sauce or whiskey sauce for a bread pudding we're making this Thanksgiving. I was try to describe how the juxtaposition of the sweetness of the sugar in the sauce and the alcohol "flavor", make the whiskey sauce a better choice. However I'm not sure what taste sensations alcohol stimulates. Hope someone has an idea.
Thanks
