Well, first we had ice, then we had beer.

I, not being a very ardent beer drinker, prefer a more mellow "sipping" beverage when lounging in the cickpit or up on the fly bridge. My "sipping" beverage of choice is Bourbon. My favorite is Pappy Vanwinkle but I can't afford to drink that all the time so, usually, it's either Elija Craig or Woodford Reserve.

I drink it "on the rocks" so ice availability of very important to my boating pleasure; hook dropped and engines off naturally.

PS: Jack Daniels is NOT Bourbon. :)
 
Jack Black on the rocks does fine for me. Do not care if it is or is not technically a bourbon.

Bourbon, probably Ok when poured on a rag to remove fingerprints from gelcoat.
Well aged Canadian Rye whiskey for sipping on rocks.
 
+1 for what Gcolton said but for the past few years I have been adding coca cola to the mix..
 
In my opinion adding anything other than water to a good whisky is just a proof that Americans know how to ruin good liquor.
This has roots in the days of prohibition when servers had to add anything that would hide the poor taste of the alchohol they were serving.

As the guy in the Dos Equis commercial would say: "No." I've always VERY much disliked Canadian whiskies. Not crazy about bourbons, either. For me, it's a twice casked single malt like The Balvenie Doublewood, or a few other single barrel whiskies. I'll even go for some blends - Johnny Walker is always pleasing to my palate. Not so the paler blends, like Dewar's.
 
"PS: Jack Daniels is NOT Bourbon. "

True. It is a Tennessee sour mash whiskey made for sipping.
 
Pendleton Blended Whiskey on the rocks or Abelour Scotch on the rocks.
 
I never got the adding water thing... Why would you want to water down perfectly good sipping alcohol?
 
Mike,
A friend of mine says, the man who made the whisky knew how much water to put in it when he made it. :-)

Basil Hayden's straight up in a rocks glass, minus the rocks.

But I've really gotten to LOVE WhistlePig rye.
