I killed my 109.7 proof bottle of this with a side by side with a makers mark cask 22-01. They have almost identical proofs. The 46 has more wine/woody nose but the cs has a a fuller sweeter nose. The nose translates over to the taste. 46cs has a little bit of a lighter mouth feel and a little more burn but the wood comes through making it really hold up. The mmcs is definitely richer, sweeter and chewy but they both taste great!
