Both. At the end of the day it just had too much of a "wood" taste for me, unlike bourbon, where I can actually taste the nuances of the various brands.
Right now as a daily drinker I have been drinking Evan Williams Single Barrel Vintage, aged 10 years, about $25 a bottle. Evan Willams has traditionally been a lower end bourbon. Toward the end of the 90's they decided to make a higher end single barrel variety and the result turned out to be very respectible. It has been reviewed very favorably by quite a few aficionado rags

I'm hit or miss. For example, I was poured some blue label for my going away party and enjoyed it. But I had some glenlivet at the airport bar a couple days later and found it dreadful.
