Depending on how much soda water you like (when you have it), add a splash of bar syrup and a dash of bitters, and you've basically got an old-fashioned right there. I suspect you'd enjoy it, if you like the sweetness and carbonation that the ginger ale must impart.
I wonder if "dragon's milk" would also work with Bourbon? Normally it is made with scotch (and milk). Quite a nice drink actually.
Bourbon is also my spirit of choice. I enjoy bourbon and ginger ale in the summer, but I wouldn't call it a Collins, I would just call it a highball.
Do you mean just bourbon and ginger ale, or do you also have lemon and sugar like in a Collins?
My favorite whiskey cocktail is the Manhattan. I used to make them with bourbon but I have recently learned to make then with Seagrams Seven Crown, which isn't so overpowering as bourbon. I would like to try them with straight rye whiskey, but no good ones are available in my ABC state, just Jim Beam.
Back to bourbon. I usually drink it straight, or with ice, or with water, or with ice and water.

Yeah, Manhattans are great, but Jim Beam rye really didn't do it for me. I recently got some Sazerac rye and it was much better.
You might try Canadian Club. I've had some good Manhattans with that.
I threw in the lemon and sugar, though I find those mix better with club soda.
He said Seagram's Seven Crown would be better, and I have found it to be just about perfect.
