First of all, cheap alcohol, for the most part, is cheap because it
sucks. Some things such as Captain Morgan are cheap and good (not the
best but good), but those are rare. You get what you pay for.

Second, my late uncle, a lifelong alcoholic, once gave me a tidbit of
advice. He said that once you become an alcoholic you cannot afford the
good stuff anymore. That is why the cheap stuff sells well -- when you
drink a lot of it and have other problems in life caused by alcoholism,
well, you stretch your dollars as far as they will go.

If you want a good bourbon for cooking, grab some Jim Beam (white
label). I consider it to be a decent bourbon for drinking, but excellent
for cooking. Some of the top-shelf bourbons taste great but just don't
work for cooking.
