Granted, I’m a 2 cubes guy, not a neat drinker, so that says plenty.

I can find a lot better for $30 than their small batch but drink what you like and drink it how you like. As long as it's bourbon, it's all good!
Some others to try if you'd like for $30 and under:
Evan Williams Single Barrel
Elijah Craig
Eagle Rare
Henry McKenna
Russel's Reserve
Larceny
I think Maker's is over-rated. Knob Creek is decent.
Theme is drink what you like though!
