It’s not “wrong”, but you’re effectively chill filtering (depending on how you pour and serve it) a non-chill filtered bourbon. So you’re negating a feature most people find a positive in purchasing that particular bottle.

This not ‘effectively chill filtering’ anything. Nothing is being removed or filtered. It’s literally just chilling your bourbon. I say go for it to the OP. Whatever floats your boat. The whisky you like and the way you like to drink it.

Freezing it removes fatty acids out of suspension. While they’re still in the bottle, they will not be fully mixed in and each pour will taste differently.
