I have mentioned in a couple of my notes that I am a single malt scotch man all the way. And I'll also point out that I don't just lean towards the Islay scotches, I live in a peat bog vicariously through them. I tend not to like bourbon because it tends to be too sweet for me, but Booker's is actually pleasant to drink because of its relatively heavy smokiness and very light sweetness. I'm having a hard time deciding if I like this better than Bulleit because I tried them so far apart, but I suspect that Booker's will take the win thanks to the smoke, which I don't remember being so prominent in Bulleit.
