My taste in “adult beverages” is very narrow; I like dry red wine like Cabernet and dark beer, mostly stouts and porters.

Bourbon is nectar from the Gods. 

I like red wine and bourbon reminds me of the wine experience, just a very different flavor profile. You can pick up many different notes in bourbon just like red wine. Red wine has a dry, bitter, fruity, oaky profile. Bourbon has an oaky, sweet, carmely, sometimes fruity, nutty, spicy, vanilly profile and an oily mouthfeel - which I very much enjoy. 

Plus you can drink a glass, savor it, and be feeling pretty good after only a couple sips. A definite advantage. 

If you want to get into it and try it I recommend a bottle of four roses small batch or single barrel or a bottle of plain old buffalo trace. A good/affordable starting point.
