I’ve had this bottle for quite some time and it’s been open for at least 4-5 months maybe longer. I cannot figure out all the high marks for this bottle. Is it good, yes. Is it bad, no definitely not. I find it to be just above average especially when comparing it to other Maker’s offerings. For example I have a cask strength I tried side by side and I think I prefer the CS which is damn near the same proof at 109.4. I find it to be in line with most other MM offerings. Maybe my next pickup will be a MM 46 CS since I haven’t had that one yet. Again I can’t recommend against this bottle but I wouldn’t seek it out either. 3/25/22
