What's a good liquor to start on, for someone that's only been a beer drinker? I've got some Jack Daniels of some sort but don't really like the taste. I see rave reviews of various things but I wonder if those are an acquired taste....
The church is near, but the roads are icy. The pub is far away, but I will walk carefully.

Straight, like the cowboys at the Longbranch on Gunsmoke, which is where all my experience comes from

Sipping, or shooters? I don't do shots.
For sipping whiskey Woodford Reserve would be an excellent start.

Hmmm... Sipping I guess, shooters always seem to grimace and shake their head which doesn't look pleasant...

Yeah, shots are often used to get drunk rather than enjoy the whiskey.

Sam, you're trying to ambush a whiskey newcomer.

Jiggers might not be the best idea right off the bat.
Jack on the other hand remains my personal favorite. I've tried a few more expenive brands(including Woodford's, Buffalo Trace, Makers, JD Single Barrel and a few I can't remember), but have always liked regular ol' JD.
I must have crude tastes because black label Beam is my second fave...(grin)

OK I was wrong, my whiskey I didn't like was EVAN WILLIAMS, "Sour Mash", not JD.

Johnny Walker Black is a fine whisky, but my salesman buddy will never admit it since it's the competition.

I'd agree, JW Black is as good as blended scotch gets. Haven't tried their blue or green label, but think they may (?) be malts.

Blue is a blend, a very high end one.
Gold is their 18 year old blend.
Green is all malt, but not a single. It is a vatted whisky.

Not much of a Scotch person.
I still say dollar for dollar Makers Mark is right up there for everyday bliss.
Jefferson's Reserve is also a good find that often goes on sale. I believe it's a 15 year single barrel or very small batch.
Proud to be a true Sandlapper!!
