    Never been a whiskey drinker, as i prefer beer, but if I was going for a spirit, I prefer a nice dark rum - like the sweetness of it & someone said if I liked that I should find myself a nice bourbon as they’re similiar in profile.

    Any truth to this?

    If so, would you recommend one for me to try?

    Thanks

    Bulleit would be my go-to medium priced one. Cheap ones are really only suited for mixing with other strong flavours

    So is the flavour profile mostly the same?

    They will all taste somewhat similar. You've been recommended a huge gamut of variants though

    That's like recomending Bailey's as an Irish Whiskey. Was going to say it's not even made with Bourbon but apparently they've gone back to the original recipe using bourbon as the base spirit last year. It was being made with rectified spirit the last 40 years or so before that.

    Haven't drank too many bourbons but I did like Makers Mark when I tried it. Mostly just sampled in Manhattan's or Old Fashions back when I worked in bars. Cocktail training was good fun back then!

    Woodford Reserve is very accessible.

    And I did have some fun recently when the Mrs. asked me what I wanted back from Duty Free. Hoping she'd have to ask for assistance finding it, I told her Knob Creek.
