I hate whiskey, will I hate rum?

I like vodka neat, but I don't like whiskey, have tried scotch and bourbon, can't put my finger on it but somehow my body just rejects the flavours and it makes me feel sick.

I like the sound of rum, especially the sweeter stuff (even though I hear that's frowned upon). I'm thinking of starting with diplomatico, will I hate it? The last whiskey I had was gentleman Jack which I hear is the Diplomatico of the whiskey world (for beginners). Cheers.
