title_body: Are there any Whiskey better for cocktails?
upvoted_answer: Jack Daniels is not a whisky! It is a Tennessee Whiskey!
  
  That is very different to the Scotch whisky usually recommended in whisky cocktails, which require more of a bitter/tart edge than the sweetness of Jack Daniels.
  
  For any whisky cocktail I personally would use a decent single malt Scotch whisky to get the best taste for me, but everyone's palate is different. I only use Jack Daniels in sweet cocktails, or with cola.
