Have a recipe that calls for whiskey as an ingredient. I don't drink much....any suggestions as to the best to get? It's going in a cake.

Get a good, well known brand. Like with wine, don't cook with what you wouldn't drink. That is to say don't buy the cheap nasty stuff or you will taste cheap nasty stuff in your cake. Jack Daniels Black label, Southern Comfort, or Jim Beam all would be good choices, just don't get a scotch or irish whiskey for this, totally different flavor.

I'm normally a believer in "cook only with what you'd drink", but mostly for wine. For hard alcohols, I buy something that's about 2 prices higher than the cheapest. I mean, for say penne ala vodka, I can't tell the difference between Grey Goose and Bartons. It's strange to have two bottles of the same liquor, one for cooking and one for entertaining.
So I'd go with something like Black Velvet if you normally don't drink whiskey.

it is hard to go wrong with Jack Daniels. But Evan Williams or any well-known bourbon brand will suffice.
Southern Comfort might be good for cooking.

I don't think you have to go all out for something that is used only for flavouring, just get some cheep Kentucky Bourbon or some Southern Comfort for a fruitier back drop

Put a little bit of southern comfort in it, for a sweet buttery taste
