- Cider is, was, and ever shall be the drink of violent bumpkins. There is no amount of re-branding something as a refreshing thing over ice that will dissuade me of the opinion that, eventually, everyone drinking cider will turn into either Adge Cutler or a rapist.

I agree with everything except the your view of bourbon and ice in a whiskey. True, if you have a nice scotch one should have the discerning taste to not put ice in it, same with a fine bourbon.
Glice, what are the ''best'' (maybe i should say most expensive) bourbons you have drank?
It may be a hassle to seek these out, but if you happen to see any of these at your liquor shop or pub, think about purchasing a taste:
Four Roses Small batch
Blantons
Woodford Reserve
Bookers
Knob Creek
Bulleit
