Maker's 46

I have to admit I am & for a long time been a Bourbon man. I might delve into other liquors for months at a time but Bourbon is always my first love. Maker's Mark probably being my personal favorite.
Just this month Maker's has released in most markets Maker's 46 their first foray into a new product. 46 doesn't refer to the number of years but to the number of oak staves used after the barrel matures. It is a bit more on the smokey side I personally think but is still sweet and smooth although 46 is 94 proof opposed to the normal 90 proof. Just wondering if anybody else has had the pleasure of trying this new offshoot or even what is your favorite Bourbons?
