I agree. As I try more and more bourbons, it's falling quickly down the list. I'd take Bulleit bourbon, Elijah Craig and and Russell's Reserve over it around the same price point.

Don't be that guy. It sometimes help to cut with water if you're new to bourbon. Also, high ABV bourbons can actually open up more with a bit of water. I don't do it much but I will at times if the finish is a bit "off."

I have done them neat, but I prefer them with an ice cube.

Depends on the bourbon. Even just a few minutes sitting in ice, significantly changes the taste for me. On many bourbons it ruins the finish IMO and decreases the mouth feel.
But drink the damn bourbon how you like, that's how I see it.
