I love my bourbon with blood orange simple syrup and peel with smoked rosemary and dark cherry for garish.
Neat, two fingers, topped with hyperbole.
1 or 2 ice cubes on the first glass. Neat on glasses 2-???!
Bourbon. Neat.

I like it on the rocks, ice cold.
Bourbon. Neat. Stogie if time permits.
On the rocks with a twist of lemon.
I wish there was a way those of us not on social media could enter.
As far as how I enjoy bourbon it depends on the proof. The higher proof stuff I enjoy on the rocks. If it is under 100 proof I like it straight up.
I second that.
I third that.
Rocks
Bourbon with a cube of ice or two.
3 cubes, small splash of water…enjoy!!
In a slushy of sonic ice with a twist of orange. Yes, everyone just turned their nose up. But it’s very good.
Neat. Hopefully in a Fox glass.
Under 113 proof-Neat, over 113 proof, a splash of water only!
The only way…Neat
A few ice cubes for the first, none with the second! ?
3 fingers of Bourbon over one ice rock. Lately I’ve been on a Belle Meade kick but just had Noah’s Mill for the first time which was an interesting change up.

Great bourbon like Blade and Bow or Belle Meade I’ll do it neat. Something a little less than in an old fashioned or mixed with Blenheim’s ginger ale. And go Oklahoma State Cowboys! Side note: I don’t have an Instagram so hope this counts as an entry as my wife follows all the above.
On the rocks. I’m past the point of drinking it neat to look “cool” and simply not enjoying it.
With one ice cube ?
Neat on the rocks with a twist.
Two fingers and an ice ball.
I like my bourbon mixed with ginger ale and lime!

Neat in the fall, winter and spring. Rocks during the summer.
Neat, as it should be
On the rocks

With a new bourbon, I always try it neat- then add one whiskey ice cube to open it up ? cheers
