Whiskeys that taste good in the morning

Hello all. Around 1 year ago, I got into the enjoying whiskey game. I dont like spending a lot of money on it, but I do enjoy a nice whiskey. Right now I'm really liking Russells single barrel. And like many of you im sure, I typically enjoy a couple to wind down at night.

Usually I don't have a drink with my meal, but my understanding is certain whiskeys pair better with certain foods. What I was wondering is if there was a whiskey that went well with breakfast food like egg and meat english muffins. I dont mind higher proof, but to start the day I think something less hot would be preferable probably less than 100 proof. Also something that tastes good on the first pour when your tastebuds arent all there. I'm not a fan of liquers, but I do think something with maple notes could do well. Like I said, I really like Russels single, but I also like Wild Turkey 101 and rare breed. Neither quite scratch the itch when the sun rises though.

I appreciate any help, thanks.
