I am in no way a pro whisky taster, up till now its just been JD but its getting boring. I would prefer a sweet whiskey which would go down well with ice.

Clynelish 14YO 46% This is a peaty whiskey with a honey finish. Should be around £30 to £35 per bottle.
Aberlour A'bunadh Batch 20 60.5% A sweet, honey finish from this sherry finish single cask whisky. Should be around £35 to £40
Old Pulteney First Fill Sherry Butt 1990 59% The sweetness of the sherry cask makes this a mellow whisky. This is at the top end of your price range and you may have to pay up to £55.
Please, don't put ice in your whiskey! This will only destroy the flavour. The only thing you should add is water to taste. The Clynelish should only need a small amount of water, if any.
Bourbon is whiskey (Irish/American spelling with an "e") from Bourbon County, Kentucky.
Enjoy your whisky :-)

A couple of nice sherried whiskies are Aberlour 16yo and Mortlach 16yo Flora & Fauna. The Glen Elgin 12yo and Longmorn 15yo are good Speysider's too and all are under £35
Edit:
Jack Daniels is not a bourbon.
Bourbon is an American form of whiskey named for Bourbon County, Kentucky. By United States law, it consists of at least 51% corn — typically about 70% — with the remainder being wheat and/or rye, and malted barley. It is distilled to no more than 160 (U.S.) proof, and aged in new charred oak barrels for at least two years.
If your wanting a good American bourbon I suggest either the Elijah Craig 12 year old or W.I. Weller 12yo. Both of these sell for around £20 a bottle in the UK.
(Since your using the "£" monitary sign I figure your from the UK)

Well here's some I like...
Jack Daniels Single Barrel
Laphroaig
The Balvenie
Johnnie Walker Swing
Poit Dhubh
Although when you say "Sweet" whisky, you would probably be better off with maybe a bourbon...
Jim Beam
Wild turkey
Maker’s Mark
Woodford Reserve
Elijah Craig

If you want a sweet whisky, Glenmorangie is probably the best choice. A bit mainstream but an excellent malt. Highland Park is a good one as well.
My favourites are Dallas Dhu and Cardhu malts. Hard to get hold of a bottle of these but worth the effort.

My three favourite whiskies are Glenmorangie which is very light, a classic speyside malt. Black Bottle which is a blend of Islay malts. It's bit heavier with a little taste of seaweed and peat. If I'm only allowed 3 I'd go for Highland Park for my other one. I wouldn't put ice in any of them though, maybe a wee dash of water in the Black Bottle but that's all.

Sounds like good scotch would be a waste for you. The ice thing is a give away. Great more Oban for me.
Bourbon, however is what you want. Makers Mark is sweet, Woodford reserve is a little sweet and Oh so good. Rebel Yell is cheap very sweet and would go nice on ice.

I think you need to join the Whisky Sampling Event which held in Perth, Melbourne, Brisbane, Sydney, Adelaide and more cities of Australia. For more information about the event, visit below link.

attempt a sippy cup. or perchance a well-known cup (for sure with somebody else retaining it to help her). you additionally can attempt feeding breastmilk or formulation with a spoon. Are you offering breastmilk or formulation? She might desire to choose a differnt style or formulation, or she might desire to like it a distinctive temperature (in line with probability chilled). till you're curretnly attempting to wean her thoroughly off the breast, you likely do not might desire to have her take a bottle in any respect. If she'll settle for a sippy or authentic cup, think of how large that's going to likely be to in no way could hassle with bottles in any respect!
