Evan Williams single barrel, eagle rare, woodford, definitely Buffalo trace. On the cheap, Evan bottled in bond or benchmark.

Bourbon is OK, I switched to Rye. A couple three fingers of an evening will mellow out most any one,

Old Forester 1910 is good but strong. Dewars 12 year old is really easy to drink.
Both good.

To make it simple, not too strong on the sweet/honey side is what I am looking for. Four Roses is an overlooked brand, also. I'm not a bourbon drinker. I generally prefer Jameson Irish Whiskey or The Glenlivet. But a friend brought a bottle of Four Roses to the cabin for our annual hunting trip last year & I enjoyed it. Since you're wanting to avoid the burn, fortunately their lowest 80-proof version lists honey as one of the taste characteristics (I was drinking the 90-proof Small Batch variety). It might be worth a test bottle to see if you like it. https://www.fourrosesbourbon.com/bourbon/four-roses-bourbon

I don't like to drink anything that makes my eyes bug and fumes to come out my nose. That eliminates most brown liquor.
Drinkin' shouldn't hurt. Enough things in life hurt without adding drinking to the list.
The same people who drink brown liquor are those people who shotgun a whole habanero pepper then have to wipe their asses with a paper towel soaked in Vicks Vapo Rub for three days afterwards.

OPsaid he didn't like hot in the mouth so probably a low rye bourbon like Elijah Craigs would be in order. Relatively inexpensive $20-30.
Or an Irish whiskey like Tullamore DEW, Jamesons, or Bushmill Black Bush all under $30 the last time I checked.
I wouldn't recommend any scotch at that price point.

You definitely don’t want to start off drinking a knob creek 120 or any cask strength for that matter. Your palate needs to mature.Woodenville is smooth and sweet. Old forester 1910 is incredible with little bite. Basil Hayden dark rye is another smooth rye. Keep trying new ones.

Try Evan Williams Honey (and Peach). I love the peach but I don't like whiskey so there's that.
Crown Peach and Crown Salted Caramel are awesome but they cost twice as much as Evan Williams.

Still not a location from OP, otherwise I could recommend a big superstore in the area that might have over a hundred different airplane bottles of samplers. 40 or 50 bucks worth of those no more than a fifth of one brand of hooch.
Explore, have fun, get a buzz, & find your own way. I seez after a 10 or 12 brand vodka test last year.

The small bottle buy is a good suggestion. I am not a kana-sewer so Jim Beam Black is fine for me. I would give it a try.

My daily drinkers are Glenmorangie Quinta Ruben 14, Glenlivet 12, Uncle Nearest 1884, Four Roses Small Batch Select, and Bushmill's Black.
My favorite of all is Red Breast 12 Cask strength but I can't afford to drink that on a daily basis. I tried some Uncle Nearest 1856 tonight. Very good stuff.

Basil Hayden's for newbies. Not my favorite, but it is a light easy drinker.

My sister gave me a bottle of Penelope 4 grain a couple of months ago. It may be good for the OP because it has no bite and 40% ABV (80 PROOF). It was pretty bland but not expensive. I used it to make Kentucky Mules.

I don't drink much whiskey but I've heard R and R is a much loved brand in the NW U.S. A friend of mine takes it to Alaska to reward natives that help him skin his caribou and moose. He says R and R is a favorite up there.
