You can look at my previous review of this if you want tasting notes. Suffice it to say, I really like it. The bourbon inside is a solid 4.25. This new bottle/label, however is a 1. This may even be worse than Kentucky Spirit moving away from the "fantail" bottle. I'm hoping that this is a result of supply chain issues and that we will soon see the old 46 bottle return.

I'm a fan of mm46. Probably my favorite readily available wheater. I'm honestly surprised, but thankful, these are still in the $30-40 price range.
I need to revisit this one ugly bottle or not
@Zachary-Robbins Yeah...it's not only that they moved away from the fantail bottle, but they put it in something so uninspired. It looks like a Costco Kirkland Brand now. As for the 46, much like the fantail, it was an iconic established look.It was Maker's with "class". Maybe they want to save that look for their Private Selects and special releases.
I don't think it's because of that, I thought I read an article saying they wanted to use a similar bottle and label to the regular so there's more brand consistency. I'm not a huge fan of it either, but I really dislike the new Wild Turkey labels. I mean, wtf, I thought the previous one was iconic.
