"Ugh... This fresh alcohol tastes like shit. You know what would make it better? If it tasted like old wood."
Yall are trippin. Bourbon is the best
Good Bourbon.
This also depends on life cuz sometimes... Cheap is fine.
Evan Williams is good and smooth, not stupidly overpriced either.
Not a huge, huge bourbon fan, but Buffalo Trace used to be a solid "budget" option during my trendy cocktail phase. Perfectly passable, even enjoyable, straight.
Wood tastes good tho. People also like smoked food
Oak contains vanillins and wood sugars. French oak tends to taste a little bit more spiced and American oak tends to be a bit more sweet.
When making my apple mead, I always add French oak while maturing, and it makes a huge difference in taste. I add it mostly for the tannins though (the bitter part of tea), which gives it more "chew" (like the difference between white and red wine).
