Buy a small bottle of really good absinthe (St. George) to use in a Sazerac. Follow these instructions down to the brand and thank me later:
2 ounces Old Overholt rye whiskey
1.5 ounces simple syrup
4 dashes of Peychauds bitters
Muddle (stir) these ingredients in a bowl for a minute to release aromatics.
Pour a little absinthe into a chilled glass. Coat the inside of the glass with absinthe by rotating it in your hand. It's called giving the glass an absinthe wash. Pour excess absinthe back into bottle.
Now pour in your muddled rye whiskey mixture. Drop a lemon peel into your mixture and add one or two ice cubes.
Perfection. Enjoy.

This, man knows what he's talking about. Slight change for personal prefs is I stir the whiskey in ice then ditch the ice and add orange peel instead of lemon. Really can't go wrong either way. It's my current whiskey drink and I'm about to go make one.

Besides this one, a good drink if you like Gin is a corpse reviver no. 2. I've used the following for a few years, its amazing:
1 oz Gin (Beefmaster if you're going cheap, Blue Saph if you aren't)
1 oz Contreau
1 oz lillet blanc
1/2 oz Lemon juice
1/2 oz simple syrup
Mix all ingredients together, shake (or stir if you don't want to bruise the gin).
Do an absinthe wash of a martini glass, or pour up to a 1/4 oz in if you are so inclined
Pour into glass
drink and repeat :)
