i never acquired a taste for bourbon, sad to say. an inexpensive whiskey that works for me is canadian mist. it became the afternoon dram for a very wealthy, but frugal, canadian scottish maternal uncle late in his life. he put a shot in my hand with a healthy splash of water after i drove long hours to visit him shortly before he died, and it was the perfect post road trip, one drink, relaxant. since then i tend to keep a pint in a suitcase for my travels, and in his memory.
