BOTM 4/10: 2009 Four Roses Mariage

[jsbac]

Now I have no excuse.

I just checked out the Binny's website and it looks like they ship to Arkansas. I don't think I'd ever leave my house if I could have bourbon (legally) shipped to my door.

So I got my bottles from Binny's and gave this a try Friday night. Have to admit, I really like it. Have to agree with the comments so far. Definitely get that cinnamon red hot taste and some nice rye spice as well. It is a very enjoyable bourbon.

It looks like it will be quite difficult (and expensive) for me to get a bottle here in Philadelphia. I hope one of the whiskey bars here has it for me to try. Although it only looks like one place has it listed, and I am not sure what year/vintage.

The more I drink this stuff the more I like it. I think it may top any of the Van Winkle products I have. I need to bunker at least one more so I won't feel bad drinking the whole bottle. I'm surprised it doesn't disappear of the shelves as fast as the BTAC and anything Van Winkle.

I agree here...I have 1 open and 3 bunkered but I'm planning on picking up a bottle or two in Indy this week as you can never have too much of a good thing.

It truley is unique. Better than Van Winkle's? Some yes.
This Mariage is to ryed bourbons what Van Winkle's are to wheaters.

Well said Oscar. I'll co-sign that.

Going to finish the night with a pour of this fine bourbon...I'm glad a have a number of these bunkered for the future!

Man, I can't get any of the specialty FR offerings here in NH. I ragged on 'em hard for nearly two years and we finally got FR1B here but I don't think I have it in me to undertake another unrelenting email campaign. Looks like a phone call to Binny's or Julio's may be in order.

Cheers, ya lucky bastids!!

I picked up another one of these in Houston for a very good price of $75
