When it comes to whiskey/bourbon, Jack is about the last thing I'd order.

Jameson is fantastic.
Woodford Reserve is solid, but a bit on the sweet side.
Knob Creek is similar to Woodford.

I'm more of a scotch guy, but it's definitely a taste you acquire. Johnny Walker Blue Label is about the best scotch I've ever tasted...highly recommended if you have the bankroll for it. Other than that, stick to single malt and you're generally ok.

Vodka is disgusting/feminine and should be eschewed after your high school days.

I'm a bourbon guy. I can't stand scotch or Canadian whiskey. Irish whiskey is drinkable but mostly for sentimental reasons. I really like knob creek. Also I like the small batch stuff that Wild Turkey or Jack Daniels makes considerably more than their standard stuff. Woodford is good. Blanton's is very good.

It's interesting that several of the reasonable small batch bourbons are made by Jim Beam, whose regular stuff is atrocious.

I bought some small batch stuff called Old Rip Van Winkle for my dad recently that he really liked, and he's pretty picky. He'll only drink bourbon and only with a splash or room temp water..."bourbon & branch". And I've seen him send back drinks several times.
