Thanks Don, and also to all that added their comments here.
I went to the ABC store with a list of what to buy and what not to.

Since I'm going to experiment with making the honey/bourbon bbq
sauce, I decided a small "airline" bottle might not be enough.
I decided to buy a pint or so. Still clueless though. As I said,
I don't drink the stuff so even the very best would taste bad to
me.

The clerk there was very helpful and seemed to know about all
varieties. I choose a small bottle (350ml) bottle of the cheap
stuff...bottom shelf but the clerk agreed that it would be fine
to experiment with.

They didn't have a small bottle of Maker's Mark.

So..I bought a 375ml bottle of
"Ancient Age" 'Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey'.

I'll play with a sauce recipe for now. If I come up with a good taste,
maybe I'll upgrade the bourbon but I doubt I'd taste a difference.

Anyway, thanks to all that gave opinions.
