What do you mean as in like a wine left open for a day?

Is this the same person? If you're on:
>first taste of alcohol a few months ago
>love the way your whole mouth just fills with the alcoholic vapor. The bitter taste was pretty nice too. It's really fun to mix with stuff

You're tasting the alcohol. The bitter you're describing is probably the oak, or even just the alcohol but I can't say what you're interpreting specifically.

Some other guys have started to suggest things to you, but I would say they are jumping the gun a bit.

I don't mean this in an offensive way or anything, but you've just started and you don't know what you're tasting, or what's good or bad. The quality aside, most people would describe jd as very sweet, particularly compared to other whiskeys. You can go and buy a 100 dollar bottle but you wouldn't know whether it's good or not- if fact, without knowing your preferences and what you might buy it will probably taste worse than jd (at this time, anyway). You've noted that you like the burn, and that jd tastes sweet to. I think that suggests you:
a) like the feeling of alcohol burning your mouth and throat (you goddamn masochist); and
b) you either like 'sweeter' things or your palate isn't developed enough to taste things through the alcohol burn/you might not have experienced enough alcohol profiles to have a decent frame of reference.

I know you wanted a whisk(e)y, but based off this, I recommend trying a bunch of bottom shelf spirit types which you haven't before.

These will:
-Be affordable, because they are bottom shelf.
-Introduce to you a wider profile of flavours, to building your palate experience
-Let you experience what you like (you liked jd (bourbon) but what if you end up absolutely loving brandy instead, but you've gone down chasing the whiskey rabbit hole without seeing if you like a brandy for half your life first).
-Worst comes to worst, you can mix them if you don't like them 1/X

Maybe some girls just like the sweet sweet taste of JD.
