Lubbey,

Once again I'll refer to the Speyside Single Malts and really good smooth choices. The burn vs. warm also depends on your drinking technique. When sampling a scotch, do the following (Note, I'm just a midwestern schmoe, so this may not be the hoity-toity method, but it works for me.)

Take a sip of water first, clear the pallete. Then sip your scotch. Do not inhale through your nose, sip the scotch without bringing any air into your mouth. Scotch only. Roll it around on the back of your tongue. Swallow. Take a small sip of water. Fer god sakes don't put ice or nuttin in it!

Once you develop the habit well, I like to inhale the scotch before and after ths sip through my mouth, really brings out some of the less noticable flavors in it.
