Next time try Clove Oil rather than strong liquor. Soak a wad of cotton wool in the oil and jam it on the sore bit of your mouth it acts to aneasatise the area.
Whisky when young contains a lot of fuel oils. Leaving whisky to maturate helps to turn these into more sophisticated compounds (as I understand it). Scotch has to be mature 3 years to be considered a Scotch (also it has to come for Scotland - obviously, and not Scotland in China neither #shakes fist#) but in all honesty I would not consider drinking something so young. About 10 years ago Bells Whisky changed from a 5 to 8 year maturation and the difference in flavour and , in particular, smoothness was dramatic. Most Malts are 10 years in the barrel. When you leave something in a warehouse that long there are incurred costs not mentioning the Angel's Share so this will have an effect on the price you as a consumer pay. There is a pretty good proportional link to the cost of whisky and the quality. I will drink American Whiskey but prefer the aged ones like Wild Turkey.
