I share your love of sour mash -- try George Dickell.

Agreed, this is a very good "sipping whiskey" with a lower price tag. I actually prefer it to Jack, especially on the rocks. As far as higher priced whikeys go, I prefer Makers and Crown even though they taste very different IMO. I dont have too much experience with the upper upper price range stuff, but my buddy bought some blue label one time and it was magnificent (not worth the price for my taste though).

Do you guys just sip it?

Another easy-to-find, fairly inexpensive, good value to try would be one of the common "Glen" scotches - Glenfiddich, Glenlivet. I'm quite partial to Glenlivet, myself.

He just said "whiskey," right? Though he's starting with bourbon, of course. Yeah, get yourself some Maker's Mark or Knob Creek, if you want to stick with bourbon.

scotch and bourbon are two totally different animals. if you dig scotch, you'd do well to try as many of these as possible:

I've taken a liking to good bourbons lately. I recommend Blanton's, Knob Creek, Booker's, Baker's, and the high-end Jack Daniels products.

Any scotch will do, as long as it's not a blend, of course.

If by sip you mean drink in a relatively slow pace as in not chugging straight whiskey, then yes. I don't make sippy noises like kids drinking from a juice box though.

If you were unaware, Blue Label is a blend.

Jack Daniels is a Sour Mash Whiskey.

Good thing you're not insulting intelligence, because you are incorrect. While JD is a sour mash (as is all American bourbon), it is classified as a Tennessee Whiskey.
