Being made from molasses, rum is sweet, with dark rum comparable to brown sugar. Bourbon OTOH is smoky like a real Kentucky barbecue.
Evan Williams is crap. Jim Beams is acceptable for mixing. JD is pretty good but not actually a bourbon, although Tennessee sour mash is close enough for most. Makers Mark, Wild Turkey, and Bulleit are among my favs, although there are many brands out there.
