Why does alcohol taste smoother when chilled?

It goes without saying that a cold drink tastes a million times better than a warm one. The thing I’m not quite understanding is why am I able to drink my rum straight when it’s nice and cold but not warm? I mean warm or cold there is still 45% alcohol in this beverage, shouldn’t it have the same overbearing alcohol taste regardless of the temperature of the drink?
