Put some on like it is and then get pulled over while driving. Hilarity will ensue as the tests will say you're stone cold sober even though you'd reek to the heavens like you've been on a bender.

The few times I have been intoxicated back in college my buddies always said I calmed down and would just be quiet. I can even tell you the last day I drank any kind of alcohol 12/31/2002 I couldn't tell you the last time I was intoxicated but I can tell you it was only 3 maybe 4 times total. I was high energy personality.

Bourbon is definitely an acquired taste lol.
My grandaddy started me on it mixed with ginger ale until I got used to it
OP
There is no ginger ale in the vending machine at work, so I am going to grab a coke and cut it with that. Seems like it would be a good combo and control some of the burning.
EDIT: not drinking at work, just grabbing the can of soda for later.

By now that bottle should be empty. If it ain't I would offer to help you out but the damn meds I am on forces me to be dry. That's a bitch as I need a good drink.
Back in my younger days we would get a fifth and take the top off the bottle and throw it out the window. Now we had an excuse to drain it dry. The stuff we did then.

You use cheap bourbon for that.
Woodford is my favorite Bourbon. I took the factory tour on the Kentucky Bourbon Trail. To really appreciate any kind of liquor you need to taste it back to back with another variety, so you can compare. Next time you are at a get together try sippin of different whiskeys and you'll taste the difference. Strange as it sounds, the key to conquer the burn is to not swallow it immediately, let it rest on your tongue for a second. (Ok, cue the jokes 😀) YMMV
OP
I know you guys are lining up to lynch me, but I did try it with coke last night. It wasn't too bad, you still get the burn and some of the flavor but it's not nearly as harsh. Couldn't really taste the coke at all. Seems like if I add less coke each time it will slowly adapt to the stuff.
I did try letting the ice melt a bit and sipping with that top layer of water. Not there yet.
On a side note, the wife walked by the experiments and said "will you stop drinking that crap?!? Just because it's free doesn't mean you have to drink it." Such support in our family.

Try it with soda water too.
For me, it helps cut the harshness/burning but doesn't kill the flavor so much as Coke or Pepsi does.
**edit to say that it's actually Club Soda that I use**

Having met both of you, I can just see her giving you the look and saying that.

The burn is the best part
OP
I made up another one tonight, adjusted the coke/acetone ratio and I gotta say.... I'm enjoying it. Tastes OK and gets a buzz going pretty fast. I think I'll end up enjoying this bottle more than I suspected I would when I first opened it.

Sounds like there's not much chance of a trade with the OP starting to like it.

Turned in his Prius and started drinking Kentucky bourbon all in the same week.

Yea, I'm a conundrum.
Haven't fired that Kimber in years. Pulling it out to take that picture it's hard to believe it's got 15k rounds through it, has gone through 3 slide stops and a safety and had the finish worn off. Frozen did an awesome job refinishing it and bringing it back to safe queen condition.

Yes, I think our man child nuts have DROPPED!!!!!!

There are rumors that the older Kimbers were really good shooters. The age explains all. You aren't totally insane after all.
We're very proud of you, little one.
If you can get thru about 3 more bottles and buy a truck , you might, "might", be up for a Saturday night at @thrillhill
