Description: Coalition Whiskey is the world's first 100 percent straight rye whiskey finished in Bordeaux wine barrels. Handcrafted at Kentucky Artisan Distillery.
Comes from a very particular barrel of old Kentucky Bourbon, and is characterized as complex and delightful. It is marked by a hint of fruit over the top of vanilla, and sweet baking spices married with fresh oak. On the palate is an initial splash of tart caramel apple, immediately followed by hints of clean honey, fresh baked bread pudding, raisin, and vanilla. The finish is dry with a lingering tease of smoke, fresh fruit, and mint.
Proof: 114
Is a masterful blend of select, old Kentucky Bourbons, all at cask strength as the name indicates. Hand bottled and released in very small batches – it is delicious and rare. It suggests fruit over the top of rich syrup, cinnamon, cardamom, and nutmeg tied in with earthy notes. On the palate it is as smooth as butter, creamy and well-rounded. The finish is mildly sweet with a teasing woodsy aroma.
