i like vodka, too. my personal favorite (yes, i've had crystal head) is tito's. very smooth, a 'sweet' finish.

i don't think so, linearly. basil haden's has a little burn (80 proof), jim beam (80 proof) has nearly none, makers mark (90 proof) has some burn, knob creek (100 proof) has a lot of burn.

i think that alcohol content is part of the story, but not all of the story.
