Did I get a weird bottle of scotch? I got a bottle of 86 proof Glenmorangie 10 (my first scotch) and it really wasn't what I expected. So I compared it to some 100 proof Knob Creek bourbon and:

* The bourbon was easier to swish around because it didn't burn my mouth nearly as much, and it was smoother going down. The scotch left enough ethanol vapor in my mouth to make me cough a few times, the bourbon never did.
* The scotch smelled and tasted better.

I added more than a splash of water to the scotch, it still feels exceptionally strong for some reason. Did I get a weird bottle or is this to be expected?
