Jim Beam Black. Add some ice if you want to cut it down a little. That's a good place to start in my opinion.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Buffalo Trace on the rocks or neat Good bourbon at a good price. Agree. Try Buffalo Trace, Glenfiddich, Old Forester 86, Redemption Rye, and slane. Try to get the small bottles in case you dislike one. If you like one tell us which one and why. |

How about you sip on ice water. Zero calories and you won't wake up with a hangover.
I have an occasional beer, but mostly drink water |

It goes down pretty smooth if you stay away from the really cheap stuff. |

As folks have mentioned, find a bourbon *you* like and that agrees with you.
Everyone has their own favorites (and ice/water preferences), but tastes vary wildly. Buy a bunch of small bottles to sample over time and see what suites you. I've been on a Bulleit kick for a few years - mellow, reasonably priced and doesn't give me a head ache.  |

You will get answers from a ton of Bourbonheads by default, but don't disregard a decent darker rum, as suggested, if you want to ease into drinking spirits neat.
There are several rum threads floating around. Don't be afraid to start out with ice or some bottled water if it makes it more palatable for you. Sure it will change the flavors but it's fun tasting the difference when you work up to neat. Hold off on buying the pricier bottles until you get an idea what you like, or don't. Be aware the first pour will taste different than after the bottle has been open awhile. Let your pour sit for a few minutes before you taste it. Watch proof, bourbons go from 80 to around 140. Above all, drink what, and how, you enjoy. Wheaters are sweeter. Ryes are spicier. Exceptions apply. |

You might as well make the progression most young do and start at the bottom with Jim Beam or Jack Daniels and work your way up from there.

I would suggest my favorite: Four Roses Small Batch. You can always take your bourbon on the rocks with club soda as well.

Woodford Reserve is a great bourbon that’s about $35 for a 750mL bottle, you can get smaller bottles if you want to try.
Many people like Maker’s Mark, which is a Wheated bourbon. Jim Beam Black is very even for a bourbon, pretty good representative in terms of flavor. Four Roses Small Batch has a little more spice to me than Woodford if you like a little spice. |

What kind of beer do you like?
That might help because you're just basically asking for everyone's personal favorite. |

Buffalo trace, eagle rare, Evan Williams bottled in bond, four roses small batch select, id stay in the 80-90 proof range to start and work your way up to bottle proofs. Ice and water really change the flavor a lot. Get a good crystal glass and start with one cube and add until your preference from there. Once you get into higher proof stuff Old Forester 1920 and Rare Breed are good starting points

The kind of beer you drank as a favorite will help steer all of us to what you could move toward. I'm assuming wine is too girly for you? there is a thing now...A tiny Yeti (or equivalent) with wine in it for a guy drink. Just sayin... |

Wild Turkey 101. The best of the inexpensive bourbons.
