I had had Jack Daniels a few times and was not impressed. I understand
that despite being marketed as a Tennessee whiskey it is technically a
bourbon.  A couple years ago I tried Makers Mark.  While apparently not
the very best bourbon, it is up there. It was damned good.

Even though it's made here and made in a dry county no
less, I'm not fond of Jack Daniels.  But the tour was
quite interesting.
They'll happily sell you a barrel of whiskey, but it
is bottled in half pint bottles. 250 if memory is
correct, and the empty barrel is then shipped to you
along with the bottles.
