A first time hello my fellow bourbonites....

[Painkiller]

Brother, if I could, I would. Would be my pleasure.

I have also heard Jim Rutledge say the 08 Marriage was the best bourbon FR ever made.

[Wryguy]

Any ideas on the '09 Mariage? There is a bottle kicking around locally for $70, but I have only ever heard praise for the '08. Very floral indeed, a bit surprisingly for Four Roses, which I find to be all about balance and pleasant spiciness.

Holy crackers. BUY IT.

[Josh]

And welcome Painkiller! That is an excellent price for the 08. You won't be disappointed.

[squire]

Buy it, drink it, tell us what you think about it.

Well it seems as if I have no choice. I shall and I will. I believe the guy told me he has some way of getting more, not sure. Makes me hope he does. I'm so nervous I hope I don't drop the bottle and break it before I get home. Geez. I'll take a pic of the pour and post it (if I know how) and give you guys my thoughts. Hopefully tomorrow night. ( Rubbing hands with hidden glee ) Or maybe I should just leave it unopened as a collector bottle.
