But I typically keep 2-3 different bottles that can be used in cocktails. It's a holdover from when we used to entertain more and knowing most folks don't drink whisky neat  And since most folks just think Jack is all there is with whisky, it's nice to show them a little extra love with something more unique (less common).

I'd have no problem mixing Jack if someone wanted that, hell if I'm making a Rusty Nail I tend to use Glenfiddich 12 year old, but that's about the best whisk(e)y I'd ever use to mix.
I guess when I think about using bourbon to mix Woodford just doesn't come to mind, as there are lots of decent bourbons for a lot less money, and I like to drink Woodford neat.
We keep a bottle of Jim Beam or Jack Daniels next to the stove, my loves to cook with it....I'd use those to mix.
