chilled bourbon

[Gator]

does it affect the nose and taste of a bourbon if it's chilled, like kept in the freezer? I like it neat, but cold, and have never done what i am asking about, i guess i could try, DOH :blush:

I have heard of people storing their Bourbon in the freezer, that was mostly in the college days when they intended to drink a lot, not enjoy it. Neat Bourbon should be served at room temperature for a true tasting experience. I have had it in a chilled glass, seemed to take some of the "heat" off the Bourbon, I am referring to the taste and not the temperature. However, that said, drink it however you enjoy drinking it!

I like it (often) at room temp.

Please don't ruin your drinking experience by putting it in the freezer. For the sake of your tastebuds, drink it at room temp.

I like my bourbon at room temp. If they're too cold, the flavors and boquet tighten up too much.

Most of the bourbons that I drink are either neat or 1 to 2 icecubes max.
