I've found that an appreciation for good scotch and good bourbon go 
relatively hand in hand.  If you like good scotch, you might want to ask 
a trusted bartender to turn you on to a good bourbon.

I'm from Bourbon country (most of the big distilleries are only about an 
hour or two away from Louisville, naturally) so I drink a lot more 
Bourbon than Scotch, because it's cheaper and more available, but I have 
found that my knowledge of bourbon has has been quite useful to helping 
scotch drinkers find good bourbons and my appreciation of good bourbon 
generally seems to find me good scotches when I'm in search of one.
