Over the last couple weeks, I have tried Maker's Mark, Four Roses Small Batch and Willet (whatever one is in the funky bottle).

Of those, I liked the Four Roses best. The other two are also perfectly fine but not quite as balanced and all-around enjoyable. I can easily see why Maker's Mark is so popular, though. It's pretty easy to drink neat and I think it would be really nice in an Old Fashioned. 

The Willet is really good and I will probably get a bottle to have on hand, mostly because the bottle itself looks so cool.

You can't go wrong with Four Roses, their single barrels are $50 all day long.  One of the best deals in bourbon.  I do like some Marker's Mark, especially the Maker's 46. I'm not a Willet fan, I prefer New Riff, Penelope, and Bardstown. 
 Local Michigan stuff to look for: Evernorth Spirits in Freeland (Bourbon Junkies from Youtube), New Holland Origin or anything from them, except the beer barrel bouron, and Detroit City Distillery.
My go to are Knob Creek, any of them, Wild Turkey 101 bourbon and rye and Jack Daniel's Barell proof rye.  Enjoy your journey!

New Holland puts out some amazing stuff!  I also agree, those Four Roses SB's for that price are pretty awesome, and Makers 46, esp the cask strength is great.

While I watch the Bourbon Junkies on YouTube, i've never actually purchased anything from them. 

I've had a few bottles from store picks, pretty good stuff.  They're not a distillery, they buy whiskey, age and blend.  Great artwork on their labels. I definitely recommend them.
