Whale, how do you prefer your Bourbon? I've tried it over ice, but I keep going back to sipping it straight. The cold temp seems to detract from the taste for me. I like it room temp.

Also, do you like Scotch? I keep trying on occasion, but I just can't seem to get into it. The harsh smoke bite seems to overpower everything else. Just doesn't do anything for me. Maybe I need to try something other than Johnny Walker Red? I just can't cant see spending the kind of money Glenlivet costs and not liking it. I'll just have to make my way to a bar again sometime I guess, or find a small bottle. Every time I've had Scotch I just kept thinking, "I could be having Bourbon".

Good Rum is my second favorite though. Don't mind that!
