Letting bourbon "breathe"

I've been wondering whether it makes any sense to let a newly-opened bottle of bourbon "breathe" for awhile before the first pour (as is recommended for some wines)...as compared to having it settle in the glass (with or without adding water), which I understand to be fairly common practice. Chime in, experts!!
