Is there a variety of smoked Bourbon as there is smoked whisky?
I'm not sure. I'm not familiar with "smoked Bourbon" or "Smoked Whisky."

Just in case http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whisky has pretty good info. I knew that bourbon was made of corn, but reading the wiki entry I found out it is only 50% corn (maize)

The smoked taste that bourbon has comes from the barrels that the raw
whiskey is aged in. I think the barrels are charred. This goes for some
Scotch too. I'm not a whiskey drinker, but those who do, seem to prize
that smoky taste. I prefer Canadian whiskey which tastes cleaner and thinner to me. It doesn't burn much going down despite its volatile alcoholic content.

Certainly not. I only ever drink Scotch whisky (but only if there is no wine)

"neat spirits" = "alcoholes puros" ?

I don't like those drinks either, red wine or beer for dine time.

I prefer wine, but I am not unfamiliar with distilled spirits.

Licores sin diluir. No sería alcohol puro, quizás 40% o algo así.

Saben a puro alcohol, pero ciertamente, es ilegal (al menos por aquí) consumir cualquier cosa que tenga más de 50%
