New to bourbon and I need help. I love the smell of bourbon, but not so fond of the taste...I guess it's the "burn" I don't like so much. I've tried Woodford Reserve, Knob Creek, and just opened an Old Van Winkle 10 yr 80 proof...this is more to my liking, and I've only tried them neat, but the OVW smells better than it tastes. Can anyone recommend something I might really really like...I guess I am looking for a smooth, pleasant, tasty, mildly sweet and not harsh bourbon. Or maybe I should try the bourbon in a mixed drink. I usually drink micro beer, wine, bombay sapphire, but would like to expand my horizons. Thank you all! Love the website and love reading about bourbon.
