Is that sort of like the wine aerators that I have seen? Use the same for both?

Blasphemy on those who mix a fine bourbon with a nasty soft drink.

Yes, I am not sure if one would work for both. I noticed they have 2 different types so I do not mix the aerators.

No doubt..... I laugh at those people who pay for some crappy Canadian whisky in a purple bag and then drown it with Coke.... Hell they might as well have bought northern Light for $10 a half gallon

uh..nothing further from the truth

try a bottle of Booker's...you will forget about any other bourbons

The Federal Standards of Identity for Distilled Spirits (27 C.F.R. 5) state that bourbon made for U.S. consumption[3] must be:

Produced in the United States;[4]
made from a grain mixture that is at least 51% corn
aged in new, charred-oak barrels
distilled to no more than 160 (U.S.) proof (80% alcohol by volume )
entered into the barrel for aging at no more than 125 proof (62.5% alcohol by volume); and be
bottled (like other whiskeys) at 80 proof or more (40% alcohol by volume)
