I have always just drank Jim Beam with sprite or coke but I have to lose a few pounds and I sure as hell dont want to stop drinking so I am looking for a good sippin whiskey that I dont have to kill the sting with coke or sprite.

There's tons of options and prices. I'd say the best bang for your buck would be Woodford Reserve. My favorite would probably have to be Blanton's.

For the price, I actually really enjoy the Jim Beam Black. I caught it on sale at Walgreens a few weeks back and bought 3 bottles for $15 per. Has a lot more depth than the regular Jim Beam.

Whiskey =/= Bourbon

Jim is bourbon, as is Woodford.

If you're asking what is the best bourbon to drink with a few ice cubes, then I'd go Basil Hayden's, Buffalo Trace, or Maker's 46

Switch to diet coke/sprite.

I drink Makers and water. It's a low-cal delight.

Only reason I drink it with water is because I'd get uber shitfaced if I didn't.

Try and find some Hirsch Selection 28 year if you want the best


If you drink Beam it's probably a little out of your price range though.

Can't really ask that question without giving a price range.

Bushmills Green or Maroon label, if you want to spend some cash.

Crown Reserve is good for the money.

Certainly Maker's is good for the money.

Powers Irish Whiskey is really good for the money if you can find it. About $25 a bottle.

Gentleman Jack is good (but not Jack Daniels! That shite sux).

How much are you willing to spend?

If you're afraid of missing the 'sweet' of coke or sprite you might try Ancient Age. And it's cheap.

I like the B family-Basil Hayden, Bookers and Blantons. Calandros was running the Bulleit for $19.99. I really liked it and after cleaning them out of what they had left at that price, I think they raised it to $26. Still pretty good value. Makers 46 pretty good stuff too.

What's scary is that I have, at some point, had at least one bottle of every single suggestion mentioned in this thread in my liquor cabinet.
