Scotch is an affectation, bourbon is real drinking.

Scotch tastes like USED paint thinner to me...

#12   Gayot's list of 10 best bourbons. On the list is 4 Roses Small Batch. At one time 4 Roses was considered a cheap buzz. The Japanese bought the distillery sometime ago.

#7   Well I've never drank paint thinner.

Ya gotta strain it thru bread first. Takes out the impurities. Now brake fluid, that's something to stay away from. Give you a serious headache.

#6  I'll go with the others - Im an Irish Whisky drinker (Red Breast pot still, Bushmills single malts 16+ years, Jameson 18, etc), and a little of the less peaty Speyside scotch (Balvenie 12yr Single Malt Doublewood is always in stock in my cabinet).

Bourbon is like treacle to me.

#5  EU, I'm also an all scotch guy but was introduced to a bourbon by the guy at my local store. He said that the problem most scotch drinkers have with bourbon is that it's too sweet.

Suggested I try Buffalo Trace and I've found it to be the only bourbon I can enjoy though it will never take the place of Glen Morangie.

#2  I used to be all scotch all the time. But there are some very good bourbons out there that I've discovered in the past couple of years. Flavorful and smooth.

#1  I tried some Angel's Envy (#10 on the list) while in Atlanta over Thanksgiving. One smooth bourbon--truly sipping whiskey.
