You're a stand-up guy, Ken. You could have slanted the results in your favor but you didn't. I respect that. And if you prefer your bourbon with water or on the rocks, more power to ya. I think the comparison was to discern the taste, not to determine our preference in mixers or lack thereof. If you like bourbon and coke, then so be it. All I know or care about is this: if Jack and Evan taste alike and Jack costs twice as much as Evan, then the only reason to continue drinking Jack is a combination of pride and stubbornness. N'est ce pas? ??

Who the hell drinks Jack straight by sipping at it like a snob?

Uh... that would be my wife. She's a Jack straight up kinda girl. :^)

More power to her, I shouldn't have said "snob" but I did a little too much tasting before I posted! lol But my bigger point was that I don't, which could have led to me not recognizing it properly. All good research leads to more research, right?

I don't fudge results, I'm a scientist. At this point I'd say we're in the inconclusive stage, but definitely leaning towards agreeing with you that they're at least very difficult to tell apart.
