if I were to take a shot of a whiskey that is like 10 times as nice as those, would I even be able to really appreciate how much better it is?

Generally, a whiskey that 10 times nicer than those you mentioned will be a single barrel whiskey, rather than a blended one. You'll be able to tell a difference, but probably won't appreciate how much better it is, especially in a shot form. Single barrels are generally a lot stronger in flavor, and would be really overpowering in a shot. Best to drink them neat, or over ice, and sip them.
