Do you drink it straight or use a mixer?
It's sweeter than scotch. Try Basil Hayden's or Knob Creek for starters...or Woodford Reserve.
Maker's Mark is the de facto not-cheap-but-not-fancy bourbon that would be top shelf in a dive bar and well in a fancy bar.
Drink bourbon as you would scotch: the fancier stuff should be drunk with a little water or a little ice; the less fancy stuff gets mixed with other stuff.
