Non-chill filtered. The Four Roses Mariage 2009 — visitor center exclusive, multi-recipe blend, representing the second consecutive Mariage vintage in the Wooden Cork inventory alongside the 2008.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe Mariage series is released exclusively through the Four Roses Distillery visitor center in Lawrenceburg — a program for dedicated enthusiasts willing to make the pilgrimage to the distillery itself. The French term mariage (\"marriage\") honors the concept of blending multiple Four Roses recipes into a barrel-strength, non-chill filtered expression that achieves complexity no single recipe can produce independently.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe 2009 vintage follows the 2008 as a consecutive Mariage release — a different barrel inventory, a different recipe combination, and a different natural proof reflecting that year's specific aged stock. Together the 2008 and 2009 Mariages in the Wooden Cork inventory represent a rare consecutive pair of visitor center exclusives from the pre-demand era of the Four Roses collector program.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDistillery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Four Roses, Lawrenceburg, Kentucky\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eBottling:\u003c\/strong\u003e Barrel strength, non-chill filtered\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSeries:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mariage — visitor center exclusive\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2009\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003cp\u003eExplore the full \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/woodencork.com\/collections\/four-roses\"\u003eFour Roses collection\u003c\/a\u003e or browse all \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/woodencork.com\/collections\/bourbon\"\u003ebourbon at Wooden Cork\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eHow does the 2009 compare to the 2008 Mariage?\u003c\/strong\u003e Both are visitor center exclusives at barrel strength, non-chill filtered, from Four Roses' multi-recipe program.
