Mike wrote:I agree with both Squire and with cw. Blind tastings often reveal that not knowing what you are tasting often leads to a surprise. As Squire says, much of that is just human nature. And, like cw, I have as many bourbons as I do mostly out of curiosity and rather foolishly looking for the holy grail of bourbon. But, I do like to experiment with new tastes, as I often have with the, not cheap, products coming from Chris Morris at Brown Foreman. They can surprise the palate, and to me that is almost always enjoyable. Besides, there is that part of me that just wants to experience as many bourbons as I can to improve my ability to distinguish and enjoy them. I drink a different bourbon just about every day, there are virtually none to which I say, ugh, when sipping.
