The Type Of Bourbon You Should Always Drink On The Rocks
NEWS
BY JACKSON WILLIAMS
Many whiskey enjoyers prefer to order bourbon neat for the complex, raw flavor. However, ordering bourbon on the rocks is best if you're pouring a high-heat bottle.
A dark, cask-strength bourbon of around 60% ABV or higher can have a burn that outweighs the quality of taste. Ice can make for a gentler drinking experience.
In addition, water from a slowly melting ice cube can activate the oils and aromas of whiskey by disrupting the surface tension, letting you get the fullest flavor in every sip.
Another reason to add ice is obvious: the coldness is a pleasant sensation. Make sure you're going for one or two thick ice cubes instead of numerous tiny ones.
