For the record, I tried both bourbons, side-by-side, and although it wasn't a blind taste-test, I could tell a slightly-less-full flavor on the 42%. I would still say it matched the flavor profile, but I wasn't happy with it. I am definitely grateful they went back, and I would have eventually stopped drinking it if it was a permanent move. What do you guys think? Have you tried it? I always look at the red-waxed bottles in liquor stores even if I'm not buying, just to see if they are the temporary 42% or a full 45%.
