This will probably raise a howl from the purists, but have you tried any of 
them chilled?  Not with ice in the glass, but actually chilling the whole 
bottle.  I went with my husband down the "Bourbon Trail" in Kentucky and one of the 
distilleries (Buffalo Trace, IIRC) does a side by side tasting of their top 
bourbon at room temp and straight from the fridge.  The cold completely changes 
the taste profile of the alcohol.  The trick works with Scotch, too.
