2009: The final release in the "Mariage" series combines an exceptional 19-year OBSK with 10-year OBSK and 12-year OESO recipes, all personally selected by Jim Rutledge and bottled at 112.2 proof. This sophisticated blend opens with strong caramel and butterscotch notes, developing into a smoky mid-palate and a tight finish where the wood influence becomes more pronounced. Hints of brown sugar and sherry-like characteristics emerge in the finish, creating a more classical bourbon structure than its predecessor. The 2009 edition represents the bridge between Four Roses' experimental Mariage concept and their now legendary Small Batch Limited Edition annual releases. Limited to 3,500 Bottles
