Ha I wonder who will take that bait :-D
I love both Bourbon and Scotch[0], but despite similarities in their ingredients they’re distinct enough in flavour enough that I don’t think a direct comparison is possible or makes sense. It’s weird that this largely comes from a couple of differences (using new vs used oak barrels, and climate where the whisk[e]y is aging). I will grant that Bourbon is a bit more versatile though - there’s a lot of wonderful cocktails that it really works well in, I’ve yet to see a scotch cocktail I like!

- smcl 4y agoThere are some (Penicillin and the Rob Roy off the top of my head) but I don't like them. But yeah good point re ginger beer and lime - that can be quite refreshing. I'm quite content with drinking Scotch neat though.
