Most of them have depth and balance and not just sickly sweetness. But I like my whisky/whiskey as well, and of course I won't pass up a good beer. I usually prefer rye to bourbon (certainly in a Manhattan), but I quite like sipping a nice bourbon as well. If you want to try a good (and strong) tiki drink that uses bourbon, try a Tropical Itch. Most recipes include dark Jamaican and overproof rums, bourbon, passionfruit juice, orange Curacao and bitters. Had Ohana's version pf this last week at Disney's Polynesian Hotel last week (they call it the Backscratcher) and it was pretty good.
