I made my wife a mixed drink with this new bottle of Bulleit bourbon and decided to try it myself with just a little ice. Jim Beam was never my thing, but this Bulleit bourbon tasted really good to me. So now, after years of drinking only scotch, I'm thinking about trying some bourbons.
I will mostly lurk and try some of the brands recommended by you all. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experiences.

I'm of a similar taste, mostly Scotch is my thing, and I prefer more lively tastes so I can't really appreciate the subtlety of some of the Bourbons. I do really like Bulleit, so you may also like Wild Turkey Rare Breed, Knob Creek single barrel, and EH Taylor if you can find it.
