I have a bottle of Macallan 10 and just can't get into it... it's also very smooth, which I can appreciate, but just don't care for the flavor of it straight and haven't even found a good mix for it (not that I've tried much).

People keep talking about "sweetness" in their bourbon. Honestly, that might be the issue for me. For example, I don't really like wine unless it's REALLY dry.
