Scotch and food pairings?

[Sunset]

BBQ sauce is about the only thing bourbon is good for imo. Oh man, did I just say that out loud? Apologies bourbon lovers, I need to get a handle on that whole inner monologue thing.

I've tried really hard to appreciate bourbon...Bookers, Bakers, Basil Hayden, etc., but it's just sooooo one dimensional compared to single malt scotch uisge.

I might be tempted to add a little Aberlour A'bunadh to a bbq mopping sauce...but it just seems wasteful.

I understand! That was me about 2 months ago. Bourbon seemed so simplistic. But after much tasting my tastes evolved. There are some great Bourbons and whiskeys out there. (Blanton's seemed to be my favorite so far...much more complex than most.) Don't get me wrong, Scotch will always be my number one category....
