I'm going to second the greatness of Jack Daniels. Smooth tasting and great to drink in sips and shots. Mixes will for the famous Jack & Coke drink, and JD can be mixed with other drinks like Snapple or Arizona iced Tea for a fun drink to have with you when you're with friends partying or something.
And here's a video on making Jack & Coke from the American Bartenders School. JD is also great to cook with for JD and beans when camping, to pie, to dipping sauces. ehow.com/how_5062063_make-jack-daniels-b...

Jack Daniels is an alright Whiskey in my opinion. I do think it's a bit too sweet and the hangover is a SOB. It has also been made popular by movies and such.My whiskey of choice for the price is Jameson Irish Whiskey.
Jameson is a bit smoother than Jack and goes for around the same price. Give it a shot! :-) ps give the 12 year old a try you won't be disappointed.
I must step up and say Jack Daniels is the best whiskey I know. Other brands may be smoother, stronger, or more of something else. But Jack mixes great (Jack&Coke), goes straight, can be shot or sipped, and has a kick without being too rough.
I will try several things, but I've always preferred it.
Johnny Walker Black Label - Scotch Whiskey. Aged to perfection, an excellent scotch, and wonderful taste. That is my drink of choice, with some club soda...
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
