Careful on the bourbon adventure you’re about to go on. I bought a sipper one day and now have about 30-40 in my collection. I would drink crown and seven up or forty creek and seven up and can’t hardly stand it now, way too sweet. The only thing I like paring with my bourbon anymore is a cigar!

Likely a crappie get together or a seat in the clone section at Terry's restaurant will be the gathering I make till retirement

If you have ever had Rodeo Punch at one of the Committeeman only clubs at HLSR, you would consider the merits of milk in a mixed drink. For the record, I don't know exactly what it is but its good (better than a white russian or anything like that).

That said, here are my suggestions:
1. Find a better bourbon than Tin Cup. I would suggest Maker's Mark. Its a wheated bourbon, so it has a smooth and mellow appeal, and its fairly cheap.
2. Don't use diet soda, if you choose to use soda. It has an off taste that normally doesn't do too well with liquor. If 7Up is your preference try a Makers with regular 7Up.
3. Here are some mixers I would suggest you try:
-Ice with and without a little bit of water (or soda water, Topo Chico, etc). The water or melting ice (aka water) opens the whiskey up and tones it down some.
-Coffee (if you like coffee). Believe it or not bourbon is good with coffee however you take your coffee. If you want to jazz it up add some Kahlua or cream and sugar
-Old Fashioned. Go to a good whiskey bar and order one.
-Apple Cider. A lot people like apple pie moonshine. Look up a recipe and replace the shine/grain liquor with bourbon.
-Ginger Ale
-Cola (regular Coke or Pepsi)
Now, for your stated purpose (not contributing to high BP), work your way to ice/water.
