I do not make assumptions. I look at the data and have worked in the field so can safely make that statement.
Suggestions for a beginner whiskey drinker?

I'd like to see that data please.
If it really didn't bother you then somehow I doubt you'd be posting here as you do.
You sound like 10 year old that has no idea of the real world.
People can do what they want.
Different strokes for different folks. All of us have different life experiences and genes. All points well noted!
Same as the fast food threads, always people jumping in.
Speaking of which, yeah, it's bad for your liver. Knew of someone who drank too much and got a liver transplant. He did stop drinking but he also said average lifespan after a liver transplant is 5 years if you can even get one.
Don't drink to excess, and avoid Asprin if you do drink too much.
The average liver will handle that just fine.

Funny, those are almost the exact words of a hard core alcoholic that I hear over and over trying to justify their drinking.
Your statement is false. First alcohol does not kill brain cells. If abused it CAN damage the neuron ends that transmit electrial signals between nerve cells. While heavy alcohol use does damage the liver so does acetaminophen, and many other drugs but when used moderately alcohol does not cause permanent damage to the liver, which is one of the few organs that regenrates. The generalization you made that whiskey drinkers are alcoholics is an abusurd generalization based on myth and hysteria. Finally I said responsibly, I didnt say go pound a bottle of wild turkey and go for a drive did I? There is nothing wrong with having a drink in your own home or a glass of wine with dinner. Again I stated in moderation and responsibly, yes there are people that cant handle alcohol, but the majority of ADULTS can and do enjoy alcohol responsibly and in moderation. Stop trying to dictate other peoples life choices with falicies and hysteria.

Don't you just hate it when someone blathers on the same thing over and over again?
Jameson (Irish whisky by it's nature is a bit smoother), but find the stout barrel aged Jameson. That is some of the smoothest tastiest stuff out there.
Nastiest are very peaty single malt scotch whiskys (aka Islay whisky). People like what they like, but to me such a drink tastes as if six or eight heavy smokers put their butts (out) in the bottle. Just nasty. Don't start with that.

Speaking of hard core alcoholics, I'm told that you can just store your whiskey in the freezer, it won't freeze as it as a lower freezing point than water.
Drink less and buy Oban. It’s a well rounded Single Malt Whisky.I'm looking for a whiskey for casual drinking without mixing it with anything. I'd like to stay under $25/bottle.
As a beginner, I've tried "regular" Jack Daniels and the "rye" Jack Daniels (https://www.thewhiskeyshelf.com/jack-daniels-tennessee-rye-review/). I liked the rye version better than the regular Jack Daniels, but they're still awfully "raspy" is you ask me.
I've tried regular Canadian Club and that was certainly better than either of the Jack Daniels, but I'm still looking.
I've read a lot of online reviews, but I thought I'd rather ask you all...I value your opinion more.

I keep my bottle of Fireball in the freezer along with a bottle of Limoncello. They don't freeze. That stuff tastes better very, very cold.
As someone who has enough self control to limit his alcohol consumption to an occasional glass of wine or beer and a rare sip of gin I also have enough self control to not say anything beyond that whoever feels the regular need to have a drink already has an alcohol problem.
I just remember an alcoholic trying to sell me his refrigerator once, said the freezer worked great, kept his Jack cold.
