I like the tingle that warm bourbon leaves in my lips, but sometimes it's a bit too much to swallow. Something to be said for savoring each gentle sip, though.

I'm a flexible girl. Maker's is usually what I have on hand, but I'm also a fan of Woodford's, Bookers, Blantons ... any number of delicious bourbons. I don't go the scotch route, though. I've never been able to get past the smokiness - which my tastebuds interpret as plastic, for some reason - enough to enjoy it.
