Makers Mark Cask Strength Batch Variation

MM CS is my go-to favorite but I recently bought the 24-01 batch and it is tough to finish. It has a strong charcoal aftertaste that I’ve never had with the MM CS before.

Has anyone else had an issue with this before? Do I need to avoid 24-01 or could it have been this specific bottle? I think the store also had 24-04 but I like the higher proofs so I blindly chose 24-01 because it was slightly higher at 113.2 vs maybe 110.
