I'm not a huge fan of the standard Maker's Mark. It's too astringent and a one note wonder. On the other hand, Maker's 46 is delightful, much of the astringency is gone and replaced by an intriguing spiciness. It still retains the sweetness found in wheated bourbons, making this a fun whiskey that's easy to drink.

I see a Stout + Whisky flight in your future. 😀
I'm torn between this and Four Roses for chasing stouts this winter.
My favorite Maker’s, too. The French oak staves do their good work.
Agreed. This is miles ahead of the standard offering. I love the oaky lingering finish after the bubblegummy sweet entry. After having it out at a restaurant a couple weeks ago and being reminded how good it was, I immediately went out and purchased a bottle.
