Are there any Whiskey better for cocktails? I would like to know what whiskey is better with cocktails.

I've bough the Jack Daniels, but I feel that the taste of the cocktail is off since the flavors of the Jack Daniels is stronger than others. I might be wrong but I really do taste the Jack Daniels in any cocktails involving whiskey.

I wonder then what whiskey is mostly used for cocktails and what whiskey is mostly used for shots or straight consumption.

If any of my sayings are wrong or badly expressed just let me know.
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.
