their BBQ sauce (I know there are better ones but none of them reached the UK yet, sadly, it's a "good enough" substitute at a good price)
Gentleman Jack - pretty much the only commercial bourbon I find drinkable, albeit not worth the price

Gentelman jack is a very smooth whiskey. If thats your taste, japanese whiskeys also tend towards smooth.

Suntory is a good brand. I prefer their $60-ish Hibiki whiskey when im looking for something extra smooth, but all of them are pretty easy drinking.

I found most Japanese whiskey to be too sweet for my taste. GJ has that balance of smoothness while keeping the sweetness at bay.

Plus I'm not that big of a fan of non-scotch whisky anyway.

By the way if you want something truly smooth, and not too sweet, the cheaper Mackinlay's Shackleton remake, usually around £20 a bottle (should be around $25-30 in the US), is an amazing choice.
