Excellent whiskey drink - if you like whiskey on the rocks and normally avoid cocktails, give the old fashioned a try.
As chris said - bartenders usually make these too sweet.

One of the few great whiskey drinks.
Many bars make it wrong - too sweet, too much fruit etc.

For people that like whisky but want something sweeter without being too sicking.
Fresh and pleasant.No cons.
If you don't like whisky, you probably won't like it. -

I love classic cocktails. Something about a stiff drink that I like.
A little too much sugar at times.

This is a classic cocktail when made by an experienced bartender. It should be very strong with just a splash of soda water.
While I have few complaints about too sweet, I find some bartenders water them down too much.

Decent answer, I haven't had one in years.
Requires a very good bartender. As seen above, often too sweet.

Don Draper. Nuff said.
Can't drink too many because of sugar content.

I do like the Old Fashioned...
...but I said I wanted a drink with "burn." The Old Fashioned has simple syrup in it. This was not a good answer.
