A good bourbon should simply be sipped gently and slowly from a large glass. Maybe some ice to let it slowly dilute. If that's too volatile for your nose, then cut it with something fizzy and lifting, like a light soda water or sprite.

Just my .02 :-)

I'm workin' my way up to that...I do have it with just soda water sometimes. ;-)

But usually it's in egg nog or something like-a that.

Oh...I forgot I had rum. Coulda done something with that instead...maybe that would have been less heretical.

BTW, apparently my whatsitcalled is a bourbon sling. So says the webtender, anyhow.

Just in case anyone wanted to know...

Back when I was doing convention planning we did a meeting at [shudder] the Opryland Hotel in Nashville. (It's about twice the size it was when we were there and then it had 1,800 rooms).

Anyway, I got right fond of going to "Rhett's" and ordering "Jack with a Splash."

Dangerous stuff tho.
